You’ve got an extra day this month. How are you going to spend it? Well, it’s also the day the second Dune movie hits Thai cinemas, so you’re probably going to be trying to get a seat. But never fear—fear is the mindkiller—because there’s still plenty to do outside of the theater this weekend. We’ve got live comedy from international comedians like Ron Josol, drag shows at Earth House, a Feb 29 party on the river, live music, and a lot of brunch.
