Rise and shine, Soda Citizens. We’re only three days from the start of all the NCAA tourney festivities in Cola. But DYK that one of the biggest mountain film festivals will be here this week too? We’ve got a busy week ahead, and whether history’s your thing or bidding’s your game, there’s something for everyone.
If tournament tickets might break the bank, maybe head to the CofC vs. Clemson game instead. I already know I’m going to be checking out the Banff Film Festival Tour. What can I say, I like to live vicariously through insanely awesome mountain climbers. Anywho – here’s the 4-1-1 on this week’s #MustDo events:
