🤡 Clown god | Coffee rave | Crystal fest | Moon watch | Music wormhole | Leprechaun Rex | Synth romance
IT WAS EITHER Benjamin Franklin or the UNLV Continuing Education catalog that said learning is a lifelong endeavor. Whoever I'm quoting, this week's List will open your mind with prophetic mimes, popup music museums, crystal festivals, and lunar learning parties. Keep that gray matter mattering. Cheers! – Andrew Kiraly 🤍

🚗 Wake Up and Rave
Raves are traditionally strobe-streaked warehouse parties stuffed with beanbags and dripping with kandi rings and sweaty, uninvited hugs. You'll be rolling on a different kind of high at Espress Yo Self March 15 at Park on Fremont: a climactic caffeine rush. This daytime coffee rave will keep you up with a high-RPM menu of espresso martinis, Irish coffees, carajillos, and other buzzy bevs, plus the usual day-drinking complements: a full brunch spread and beat-busting DJs with enviably sculpted hair.
💗 Always Be Clothes-ing
From thrift stores to vintage shops to appointment-only designer-wear warehouses, Vegas has no shortage of secondhand style spots. Now there's a new one on the rack: Republic Goods. Think of it like an antique mall for fashion, where indie sellers lease "closets" in the space to hawk their new and used fits. Republic Goods founder Noel Hurst knows a thing or two about style and sales: She's an alumna of the Zappos empire. – h/t to curator Poly Schmitt
