Two cool events are going on this Thursday in the Alberta neighborhood, pretty much back to back!

First, from 3 to 5, some friends of ours are hosting the first Boxcar Boogie family dance party. Babies under 1 are free, everyone else is $3, and DJ Cuddly Kittens will be playing 80s music all afternoon!

This is the first of hopefully many more dance parties — keep an eye on their blog for upcoming events.

And at 7 pm, textile designer Laura Gunn is doing a fun event at Modern Domestic!

From her blog:

I’m heading down to Modern Domestic on Thursday night for a little “meet the artist” event. I’ll talk a bit about my process for designing fabric. I also have a little demo planned and Bolt will be giving away some goodies and refreshments! So if you live nearby you should head over there on Thursday, July 8th, at 7pm.

Hope to see you at both, and maybe at La Sirenita in between!
