Queer Best Weekend Bets

Hey, Ponies! With the holidays approaching (how is it November already?) we decided to spend this weekend with our chosen queer family, giving us the love and support we need RIGHT NOW. Buckle up:

Use the code YAZZJAZZ to get $19 select orchestra tickets to the 9 p.m. performance of Jason Moran & The Bandwagon with Ingrid Laubrock at the Kennedy Center this Saturday!

• TRUE CRIME FESTIVAL: November 8, 9, 10, (WHICH IS THIS WEEKEND!!!) Death Becomes Us – True Crime Festival returns! Throwing Shade! The Murder Squad! Amanda Knox! Lorena Bobbit! BuzzFeed Unsolved! Capturing the DC Sniper!

 • More announcements coming soon. Stay in the loop and follow us on Facebook & Twitter & Instagram + keep and eye out on Upcoming BYT Event tab. Use #BYThings too.

All sorts of great stuff:

• The Nats won the World Series and they had a parade and we have photos from the parade.

• If you think all this true crime stuff is too negative, we understand. The True Crime Charity Guide might help change your mind.

• The guys behind The Hard Times were on the most recent BYT Radio. It’s a fun one. Which leads us to…

• RADIORADIORADIO: Listen to BYT radio! Hosted by Brandon Wetherbee, it streams every Thursday at noon. Listen live. Subscribe in iTunes.
• SOCIAL MEDIA BONUS: Tag all your Instagram stuff #BYThings (@brightestyoungthings) and get a chance to shine on OUR Instagram feed too.
