UPDATE: Please note that the Rodrigo y Gabriela show has been moved to April 27.
If mourning the end of spring break isnt on your to-do list this week (and, why wouldnt it be?) then there are plenty of other things to do around town that should keep you occupied.
Do you know of an event, which should be included next week? Email the contact at the bottom.
Monday
Monday Night Bowling at the UMC Connection

Tuesday
Watch the Buffs play in the NIT Semifinals at Madison Square Garden
Too bad we cant all make it to the Big Apple to cheer on our Buffs, but watching the game with friends at the Lazy Dog or Harpos should suffice. Tip off is at 7 p.m. on ESPN2. Go Buffs!
