Greetings, readers! Got nothing going on this week? Here are some great suggestions to make everything a bit better!

Live, love, learn, and grow this weekend at the 11.11 Emergence Experience in Long Creek, SC at the Chattooga Resort and Campgrounds.  This is a healing arts and music festival with loads of workshops, as well as a cast of amazing live bands and musicians.  Scheduled musical performances are set to include Toubab Krewe, Soohan, David Newman, One Tribe Movement, HUDOST, MoonFrog, Stratusphere and many, many more! As far as the workshops go, expect to get schooled in sustainable living, natural health & wellness, personal & spiritual development, dance & movement, Appalachian alchemy and much more.  There will also be a kid’s village, with workshops and playshops catered for younger audiences.  Many options are available when it comes down to buying your tickets, to help you create the experience that is right for you.  Weekend passes without camping included are available, as well as climate controlled cabins, and two distinct camping areas to pitch you tents. This event is going to be a drug-free event. There will be no alcohol sold on festival grounds, and the staff kindly ask you to not bring your own. Visit www.emergenceevents.com for more info

Discoman Promotions and Octave, the hottest bar in the tri-state, have teamed up to bring you the 4th Annual Discogiving!  Join Captain Midnight Band and Subterranean for a grateful evening of music and shenanigans.  The venue will be organizing donations for the YWCA domestic violence shelter, and encourages attendees to please bring the following items:  Kids pajamas (all sizes), coloring books/crayons, age appropriate toys (ages 0-8), childrens underwear and socks of all sizes, kids toothbrushes, toothpaste, kids body wash and shampoo, twin sheet sets, blankets, and towels.  This event has a $10 cover charge and is 21+.
