Long Weekend, Short Commute

Let everyone else sit in traffic. Memorial Day Weekend means the squares go a little quieter as people live the cities, but not totally off. Friday Garden Levels launches Remnant's summer vinyl series in the beer garden with 2010s bangers. Club Passim celebrates 25 years of its folk festival with sets running all through Memorial Day. Saturday brings Small Mart back to Davis and a midnight climbing session at Central Rock. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone.

This week will try to match that energy with a three-day heat wave and science talks to keep your curiosity going. The best thing? Each talk is under five bucks. Stand-up shows at Cloud & Spirits and Somerville singles events for diferent ages also hit the cities.
