RIOC announced that Lighthouse Park will be closed on Saturday, June 26th for a private event. Has that ever happened before?
I love Spiderman and its movie adaptations! It would be a best chance to show my cousins about my fandom on comic book heroes. I'm an occasional viewer of outdoor movies due to the family-friendly goodness it gives. It totally brings the family (and friends) together. The same goes for a good summer concert. Denver, where we currently live, has a lot of interesting line up of activities that can ease your stress. With summer events (Denver), you'll not only have fun with your friends, you'll also learn new things that will be beneficial for socializing.
