Weekend Preview: Happy February! Edition

TNG Events Editor Jolly brings you the weekend 411.

It’s almost the weekend yet again, and that means we’re about to wrap up the first full week of February, 2009. Really? Is it just me or does it seems like New Year’s was just yesterday? Maybe I just need to drink less, but January seemed like a blur to me.

Anyway, there are some great events going down this weekend to help you celebrate the beginning of the shortest (and most annoyingly-spelled) month of the year or get your mind off of where exactly the first 31 days of 2009 went.

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 get them on the calendar ASAP.
