Somehow, we’re more than halfway through August, and I could’ve sworn the month was just getting started. While I grapple with reality and come to terms with the fact that the Earth is spinning faster and faster, enjoy some of the exciting events headed your way very, very soon.

Brace yourself for a night of legendary beats, smooth moves, and wall‑to‑wall funk euphoria at the San Antonio Funk Fest at the Boeing Center on Sept 6. If you crave live music, retro rhythms, and nonstop party vibes—don’t fight the funk. One lucky reader is going home with the Ultimate Funk Fest Experience, featuring a four-pack of premium seated tickets, access to the Frost Club, and complimentary VIP parking. Groove your way into the show and enter today.*
