On the Tab : June 18 - 25

Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 17 MIN.

Multiple events in one day, sofa-surfing friends in from out of town, parties and dances and shows; RSVPs and will-calls ... on whose phone? Whose phone is ringing? Request to join the 'Boycott Pride for its Facebook sell-out' posted on Facebook? Will a Supreme Court decision ruin your brunch?

The rainbow tempest is in a swirl. Get the deets here before you go gaily forth.
