It’s a big one for live music lovers this weekend. Sadly, Speakerbox, open for five years, will be closing for this weekend, hopefully to reopen later this year—but not before one last party. We also have a workshop where you can make “amazake” at home, karaoke from People of Ari, a flea market, and more.
