    The Bulletin: Dancing high above Mile End, rush hour cocktails, and new projects galore [Issue #119]

    The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.

    Interesting times are afoot this weekend, y'all.

    We've all got one foot in winter and the other in spring: Snow continues to fall, but temperatures are rising; our hibernal festivities end this weekend, and sugar shacks are in full swing; the sun still sets pretty damn early, but daylight savings is approaching to fool us into thinking otherwise.

    But in-between periods like this ain't so bad. Reading through this weekend, you can hunker down just one more time if you find the weather super gross, but consider this fair warning: There are also lofts lighting up with shows, downtown cores flush with crowds, film festivals, tech meetups, new restaurants, and a whole bunch of other stuff worth exploring.
