Fab

While it was nice being the center of attention for the past few months, maybe now Cleveland can get back to the business of being fabulous day in and day out.

And we don’t just mean the Fabulous Food Show with our two Mikes: Symon & Ruhlman. While you’re there, do the nearby By Hand at no charge. The NEO Entreprneur Expo is also sure to spotlight some local startup superstars. Listen in on our exclusive interview with the fabulous Lisa Marie Presley, who’s appearing at the Kent Stage this week. So’s Glen Campbell.

Get in on the secret meeting at Theater Ninjas’ Marble Cities. The Microbrew Extravaganza supports our fab Free Clinic, while the B-W Men’s Chorus prefers Songs, Sauces and Spirits. Be there for Community Day at the Maltz, Rust Belt poetry or the Cleveland Comedy Festival.

Trying to keep up with all the fabulousness in our region this week? You could download our mobile app and win $20. But we’re winners either way. Isn’t that fab? –Thomas Mulready
