March is coming to a close, and it has been an amazing month. Women’s History Month, St Paddy’s throw downs, spring weather = jorts time, and my first full month with Do615. Also, special thanks to all that came out to my lil film night last night, it was a great turnout and we had a blast celebrating some amazing local films!

All that to say, April snuck up on me! So we are doing our best Paul Simon impression and pulled together 50 ways to get out of your house in Nashville this April to stay ahead of it (or at least pretend to).

And honestly… this might be the giveaway I’m most tempted to keep for myself. We’re talking a Golden DoWEE Electric Forest flyaway complete with festival tickets, VIP perks, $600 travel credit, the whole shebang.

If you’re even thinking about it, just go ahead and start the free trial and throw your name in.*
