Activate!Activate! February 11 – February 18

Thanks for celebrating with WRIR last Friday! We have our Black Valentines party coming up this weekend and much more on the horizon, so WRIR's 12th year is sure to be a blast! At 5pm, I'll preview that and the rest of the shows in Richmond this week, plus I'll give away tickets to see Karikatura at Gallery 5 and Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Lower Dens at The National!
