I hope you are all saying safe and warm out there. This weekend is filled with a ton of fun things to do, and most of them are pretty inexpensive. Have a good weekend everyone! ### **My Brightest Diamond at El Club** Holy cow, you guys. If you don’t have plans on Friday night you need to go see My Brightest Diamond at El Club. Shara Nova’s musical stylings are hard to describe, all I can say is her voice is intoxicating. Also, whenever there is flute, piccolo or a marching band in the mix it makes me excited. Tickets are $15 and you can [purchase them here](https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1588308?utm%5Fmedium=ampOfficialEvent&utm%5Fsource=fbTfly). The show starts at 8 p.m. *El Club is located at 4114 Vernor Highway Detroit, Michigan 48209* ### **Santa at the Fisher Building** Santa will be taking a little rest bit at the historic Fisher Building this Saturday. If you have yet to take the kiddos to see Santa this season this is the perfect opportunity. Plus, can you get a prettier backdrop? I think not. Did I mention that it’s free? Take as many pictures on your phone or camera that you’d like.
