      Society for Arts and Technology [SAT]Maison Jofei

      With a big storm set to blow into town today, this weekend lands somewhere between resolve and reality. Ice will be our dance floor as art shows, dancing, dinner pop-ups, an auto convention, live music, film, and roller skating light the city up indoors. There's enough going around to keep you from defaulting to the couch, no doubt about it.

      Meanwhile, big news has been shaking up the headlines. We're bidding adieu to Legault, we're learning about homegrown fashion brands, massive acts of graffiti, and a nation's worth of gold once stored below our city's streets.

      Let's get into it, shall we?
