Cheat Sheet: October 2024

Autumn has arrived, and while some may be cozying up with a cup of tea, for those feeling energized and ready to make the most of the season, we're back with our monthly Cheat Sheet, featuring all the must-attend events.

Dear Aa readers,

Fall is in full swing, meaning that outdoor hangouts, park picnics, and frolicking through the streets are now kept to a minimum. This also means that having things lined up (ideally indoors) is coming in clutch.

For us, this is the time for museum dates, fun dinners, and screenings. Counterintuitively, we find ourselves going out more in the fall than during peak summer—doesn’t make sense, we know! Maybe it’s a mix of escaping the fall gloom and doom + the desire to feel alive as we get rained on while biking to the club.

Sounds great, right? Finding these ‘fun happenings’—not so fun. Some might even say tiring. But fret not, that’s where the Aa team swoops in. We’ve scoured the depths of the internet, keeping our eyes and ears open to give you an overview of what we’re most excited about in the next four weeks. All you have to do is drag yourself out of bed, call up your friends, and finally buy that rain jacket.

P.S. ‘But what about ADE?’ Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Keep an eye on our feed in the coming week for a handpicked selection of what we’re most excited for at ADE this year.
