🎨 Big art fair | Knight flights | Ticket giveaway | Emo fest | Scream opera | Endless pasta | Bubbly brunches

FALL MEANS MANY super-deep philosophical things to me but, most of all, it means I finally get to break out all my indie-jank thrift-store cardigans. Hella excuses to sweater up this weekend, from Summerlin art fairs to Sunset Park medieval mosh pits. Cheers! – Andrew Kiraly 🤍
