Happy November! I hope you all had such a fun Halloween weekend! I spent mine seeing Wildwood and doing a whole lot of nothing, which was sooo needed, especially since we've now officially entered the holiday season in full swing. I don't know about you, but I'm not quite ready for all that just yet!

I've got a list of 50 things to do in November for you, plus the website is overflowing with events, so let's get cracking!

First, a giveaway! Game night at a museum with drinks and adults only? We're in. OMSI After Dark: Game On! is bringing games, drinks, and after-hours museum fun on Wednesday, November 11, and we've got a pair of tickets to give away. Enter to win!*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Oregon native Mat Kearney is coming back to his home state with a brand new album, Hanging by a Heartstring, in tow. Catch him at The Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene on Saturday, August 28th.

• Fresh off her latest album, In the Hour of Chaos, Grammy winner Allison Russell has plenty of new music to share, including collaborations with Norah Jones and Joy Oladokun. Catch her at Wonder Ballroom on Thursday, November 12th.

• A little honky-tonk, a little trouble, and a Tuesday night that might turn into a late one. Dominique & The Diamonds are taking over Dante's with Satán Es Real on January 19th.
