Let’s Roll (Into the Weekend)

Before we get into things, let’s be specific here for a second: I’m being figurative when I write, “let’s roll”. I am in no way suggesting that any of us get as bruised, bumped, and battered as this girl did…

Seriously, shoutout to recent NC State graduate Abby Lampe who won the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Roll in Gloucester, England, last weekend. My Pack seems to keep getting robbed of championships, but leave it to a Pi Phi to aim high and bring home the ~~gold~~ cheddar. 🧀 You go, Abby! (If that wasn’t a perfect “roll-up” to our last month of cheese appreciation, how about crowning Raleigh Weekend reader Diana W. our May gift card winner? Congrats, Diana!)

Back to the business at hand, I’m pretty pleased if I do say so myself with this week’s Friday Five (plus a few extra) highlights for your weekend efforts. We’ve got beer, a new bodega, fireflies, film, live theatre, and even some feel-good experiences for your solo or group pursuits. I’ll get out of the way now and leave you to it. Thanks for being here, everyone!
