Spring is upon us again, and there’s a bumper crop of exciting events coming up this month to show for it. Between music, theatre, and other festivities, it’s time to pull out the calendar and mark off some dates.

For those who aren’t following the Twitter feed or Facebook page, or just flat out missed the post, I posted there about a major announcement set for Monday (the 28th) at noon. This announcement is one of the biggest things to hit the site since the wide launch, and I want to make sure I don’t leave anyone out.

Thanks for your support. And now, on with the list.
