SUMMARY:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops (21+)
DESCRIPTION:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops offer a hands-on creative night for adults looking to trade screens and stress for clay\, conversation\, and a little wine on Fridays through the summer. Designed as a relaxed social workshop for ages 21 and over\, the event combines pottery instruction with a bring-your-own-drink atmosphere that turns the evening into part art class\, part night out. \nThe workshop begins with a professional wheel-throwing demonstration before participants move into creating their own pottery pieces either on the wheel or through handbuilding techniques. Instructors guide guests through the process step-by-step\, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before. Clay and firing for up to three finished creations are included as part of the workshop. \nWhat makes Sip ‘N’ Spin stand out is the balance between creativity and atmosphere. Rather than a formal class setting\, the evening leans into a casual\, social energy where guests can laugh through uneven bowls\, experiment with clay\, and enjoy drinks while trying something new. Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n

SUMMARY:Lionel Richie with Earth\, Wind & Fire
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of night where the first note hits and the whole crowd leans in… that’s the energy Lionel Richie brings on tour. His catalog is stacked with songs that don’t fade—“Hello\,” “All Night Long\,” “Easy”… the kind of tracks that feel instantly familiar no matter when you first heard them. Live\, it’s less about flash and more about connection\, with Richie guiding the room through decades of music that somehow still feels personal. \nSharing the stage\, Earth\, Wind & Fire bring a completely different kind of electricity. Where Richie leans smooth and soulful\, they come in with rhythm\, horns\, and a groove that doesn’t sit still. Songs like “September” and “Let’s Groove” turn into full-on moments\, the kind where the crowd doesn’t just listen… they move. It’s tight\, high-energy\, and built to lift the whole night. \nTogether\, the tour plays like a perfect balance. You get the slow\, emotional sing-alongs… then the tempo shifts and suddenly it’s all movement and celebration. Different sounds\, same impact. It turns into something shared pretty quickly\, especially once the hits start stacking up. If you’re looking for a night that blends timeless songwriting with pure feel-good energy\, this lineup delivers in a way that just works from start to finish.

SUMMARY:Seth Meyers
DESCRIPTION:If you know Seth Meyers from late night\, seeing him live is a different kind of experience… a little looser\, a little more personal\, and a lot more unpredictable. His current run of stand-up dates through 2026 has him bouncing between theaters\, casinos\, and select residencies\, including recurring shows in New York and stops across the country. But instead of a polished TV monologue\, what you get on stage feels more like a conversation that keeps sharpening itself as it goes. \nHis style leans smart without feeling heavy. He’ll slide from parenting chaos to marriage quirks to those small\, oddly specific observations that somehow land with everyone in the room. That same dry delivery he’s known for is still there\, but live\, it stretches out… stories take their time\, callbacks sneak up on you\, and the rhythm builds in a way that rewards paying attention. It’s thoughtful\, but never slow… the kind of comedy that keeps stacking laughs instead of chasing them. \nAnd live\, there’s just enough unpredictability to keep it interesting. Some shows lean more into personal stories\, others drift toward current events\, and sometimes it pivots based on the crowd in front of him. That’s really the appeal… you’re not just watching a version of what you’ve already seen\, you’re getting something that feels built for that specific night. If you like comedy that’s sharp\, self-aware\, and just a little bit offbeat\, this tour hits that balance in a way that sticks with you after you leave.
