Weekend Preview: Hope/Change Edition

Well, we made it! We survived the Inaugu-pocalypse and we’ve ushered in a new era in American politics. Only yesterday we were nursing our Hope/Change (Honge? Chape?) hangovers and it’s already time to start thinking about the weekend! Does this mean there are going to be more weekends in the Obama administration? Because that would we change we can believe in.

Anyway, check out below for some of the going-ons this weekend. As always, if you know something we don’t about an event which might interest TNG readers, leave the details in comments or send them along to events@thenewgay.net and we’ll put them on the calendar.
