#COLAweekend guide: February 9-11, 2018
This weekend is packed with tons of rad things to do. From a Prince tribute show at Music Farm (in case JT’s halftime show wasn’t enough for you 🎸💜) to an Oyster Roast at River Rat, there’s no way you can go wrong. Catch me forcing my friends to wake up early and go to Brookland Brunch with me this Sunday. 🍳
