Boil up some spells (#8). Photo via.

2. Sign yourself up or just listen to 2 Short 2 Suck, where people will tell their two minute stories, with Meagan Walsh, Bobbi Elfi, many more storytellers, and maybe you too. (Monday, The Way Station, FREE)

3. Get hooked up at Musicians and Producers Meet & Greet, an event for musicians and producers/record label owners to meet each other and potentially discuss opportunities without the networking vibe. (Tuesday, Little Skips East, FREE)
