Hello, June.
Let's keep our fingers that the last of the cannibal attacks are behind us, so we can go back to using bath salts responsibly, like in tubs or small doses.
With the tourists gone and the zombies defeated, the city is ours again. It's safe to come out of your fallout shelter and reunite with society. Go out, have some drinks, dance a little. There're plenty of great music-related things to do this weekend under $10.
