Spring–if you can call this hot weather spring–is rapidly giving way to summer. Note that this month includes Memorial Day weekend, some establishments may be closed on the Sunday before (05-27) or Memorial Day itself (Monday 05-28).
The weekly LOVIEEs will resume next week (05-14/20); I have included two events prominent enough to make the monthly LOVIEE for this weekend, and since it is so late in the week already I decided to skip the weekly LOVIEE for this week (05-07/13).
