Daily Email - Thursday - 06/11/2026

Happy Thursday, y’all. I’ll be honest, I have way too much work to do today. The real question is whether I’m getting it done at home, at Monarch Bar, or over at Goat & Rabbit. A cute cocktail and a change of scenery might be exactly what the productivity gods ordered.

While I figure that out, how about some free tickets?

We're giving one lucky winner a pair of tickets to see Derek Hough's Symphony of Dance: Encore at The Midland Theatre on July 12th. Expect jaw-dropping choreography and a performance that'll have you wondering if you should've paid more attention in dance class.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The Anniversary Collection Fashion Show Party arrives at The Madrid on August 22nd with bold designs, elevated style, and a runway experience that celebrates fashion, creativity, and self-expression.

  • Elmiene arrives at The Truman on July 11th with silky-smooth vocals, modern R&B grooves, and an emotional depth that has quickly earned him international attention.

  • Sleep Theory storms into The Truman on July 28th with crushing riffs, soaring choruses, and a modern rock sound built for fans who like their music loud and emotionally charged.

  • Overthinking has never sounded this good. Courtney Barnett heads to The Truman on August 15th with Zoh Amba for a night of guitar fuzz and the kind of songs that make you feel seen.

  • Freya Skye comes to The Midland Theatre on September 29th with infectious pop anthems, rising-star energy, and the confidence of an artist quickly making her mark on the global stage.
