Hey there!

This weekend is giving everything.

If you’re in the mood for something intimate, off the beaten path, and full of magic—you’re in luck. Friday night’s ufeel party is happening in a private loft (yes, really), and COUNTER x Earthjustice is serving up a thoughtful night of music and meaning.

But if you’re feeling overwhelmed by options, you’re not alone. There is so much happening this weekend that my email platform literally tried to stop me from sending this because it’s “too long.” (Rude, but accurate.)

So scroll slow, pace yourself, and know this: whatever vibe you’re craving, there’s something here for you.

Let’s dive in—
