Moms, Mics & a Little Bit of Chaos

Happy Wednesday, Longmont!🧔

Midweek energy is hitting a little different right now. Something about tonight feels like it could either be wildly hilarious… or surprisingly mind-blowing (maybe both?). Keep reading—you’ll want in on this one šŸ‘‡

What’s Happenin’ is growing — want to join us?

Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 275,000+ times by locals looking for things to do and places to go.

As we continue to grow, I’m looking to add one or two people to help with partnerships with local businesses.

If you love supporting local businesses and want to help grow these newsletters, just reply to this email and tell me a little about yourself.

Moms, Mics & a Little Bit of Chaos

Moms, Mics & a Little Bit of Chaos

šŸŽ¤ Mom’s Unhinged Comedy Show
šŸ“ Dickens Opera House | ā° 7:00 PM | šŸŽŸļø Ticketed (18+)
→ Moms are taking the mic—and nothing is off limits. Expect brutally honest (and slightly chaotic) comedy about motherhood, dating, marriage, and everything in between. Grab your crew, order a drink, and settle in for a night that’s equal parts relatable and ridiculous. Bonus: show your ticket at The Passenger downstairs for 10% off your pre- or post-show bite.

šŸŒž NSF NCAR Explorer Series: A Total Eclipse of the Sun
šŸ“ Longmont Museum | ā° 7:00–9:00 PM | šŸŽŸļø Free (reservations recommended)
→ Prefer something a little more cosmic? Head to the museum for a documentary + panel discussion with scientists diving into the magic of the 2024 solar eclipse. It’s part science, part storytelling—and a cool way to spend your Thursday night learning something new.
