It's summerish and every day this week is preceded by a "First" (fuck-all happens on First Monday, so don't worry about it quite yet), which means the town is going to be popping the closer we get to the weekend with art openings and other festivities. I've spliced off the retail scene's contribution to the fun with a handy calendar up now over on MOD to keep you sorted, because if you're going to shop, may as well do it while they're pouring free champagne.
