Hello readers! This week our thoughts are with those in the Carolinas, who have found themselves at the will of a dangerous hurricane. If you do end up going to a concert or festival this week, take a second to reflect on how lucky you are and consider sharing some of your good fortune with those who are in need. With that being said, here’s what’s up this week!
