Happy Friday! Last night I decided the frozen chicken sitting in my freezer was simply not going to happen and got pizza from a new cart called The Tale of Us instead. Supporting a local business has to make that financially responsible somehow, right? That’s what I’m telling myself. And the pizza? Delicious. You definitely need to add this one to your list of places to try.

Also, the Fall Guide is officially here! I’ve got pumpkin patches, apple picking, haunted houses, Halloween events, and all the other fall things your heart desires waiting for you below.

Anyways, before we get into the weekend, let’s start with a giveaway! Enter to win a pair of tickets to see Everclear on the Lucky 7 Tour at the Crystal Ballroom on Wednesday, Oct. 28th.

Okay, now let’s see what we’ve got going on this weekend!
