Daily Email - Thursday - 05/28/2026

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I fully take advantage of the weekend. Plans Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, day and night. Maybe a little rotting in between, but otherwise? Booked and busy.

And you totally could be too, at least for one really good night. We’re giving away tickets to see Chris Lake at Under the K Bridge with Tiga and Eli Escobar. Enter to win your way in. (You’ll probably see me there too.)

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Drom’s World Cup Music Fest is pairing match screenings with live music from those cultures, plus DJs, drinks, cultural performances, and more. Plus, we’re giving away tickets to every event throughout the fest.*

  • Brooklyn Cyclones Pride Night returns Friday, 6/12 as the Cyclones face off against the Keys. Win a Fri-yay Night Drink Package (2 tickets + 2 drinks) and enjoy exclusive merch, Pride festivities, and postgame fireworks.*

  • Back for its second year, Book Club Radio Festival hits NYC with 2 nights of warehouse dance floors, global DJs, and a strict no-phones policy you’ll question at first, then love later. Enter to win your way in.*

🔥 TRENDING:

Ok, now I’ve confused myself. Do I want to go to Gov Ball? Chris Lake? Watch the Knicks? The Greek festival? Somehow I’m convinced I can fit all four into one weekend.

I’ll figure it out! Ok, BYEEE!!!
