Also, my high-school friend Christina was in town. How would we, through our sleepiness, be able to communicate to our readers just how fun and outgoing we really still are? Luckily, weвЂ™re on social media вЂ¦ so we saw a few posts about вЂњThe Patriot,вЂќ the so-called event of the summer.

Over beers and saganaki, we talked about how we had missed the Shrek rave, how the shoreline itself isnвЂ™t eventful enough to describe, and how the вЂњCalamari & ComedyвЂќ shows at RandazzoвЂ™s Clam Bar donвЂ™t start until 11 p.m. WeвЂ™ve been moving slowly this month: A week at the lake a day at the beach a dinner by the water with Ashley, queen of Greek cuisine. I have a peeling sunburn on exactly one-half of my body-split vertically, like a Trix yogurt, the product of a beach-umbrella-geometry miscalculation. My air conditioner is leaking onto the floor as I write this-my super will deal with it as soon as he is done taking several phone calls inside my closet. Apparently hundreds of people had submitted work, and now we had the chance to see it, if we could just get inside the building. (вЂњIf it can hang on the wall, we will show itвЂќ). The gallery had posted an open call in June allowing anyone to show work, provided they could get it to the gallery somehow. We landed on going to the opening night of вЂњThe Patriot,вЂќ a group art show at OвЂ™FlahertyвЂ™s on Avenue C. Maybe a potentially unsettling eat-while-singing restaurant in Williamsburg? A poker night? A play weвЂ™ve been thinking about buying tickets for, but havenвЂ™t bought tickets for? Any of these things could potentially be newsletter-worthy the problem is, you never know until you go.

Better get out and let off some steam before we boil over.Д¬ut to: a recent Thursday night, looking for something to do.

Everything costs $32, my lease is up in two weeks, and my landlord wonвЂ™t respond to any texts or emails. Lizzie: ItвЂ™s getting hot out there, huh? The weather, the housing market, the trend of eating eggplant parm while wearing a claw clip. Sign up for Kaitlyn and LizzieвЂ™s newsletter here.
