It’s hot. Stay indoors. Or do something cool outdoors. There's windy spots where it doesn't feel like 100 degrees outside, or so we've heard. If you find one of said spots, let us know. We're kinda melting. We've got you and yours covered this week with plenty of family-friendly events below. Check them all out in this week's Seen & Heard.
Read MoreTHE DEN10: JULY 8th 2015
Is it seriously raining again? At this point we suppose we’re all used to moving outdoor events inside or onto the set of Waterworld so let's hear it for more of the same. Should we just declare this summer a wash? Here’s the thing about this week: there are a ton of shows. Part of summer is being bored to death and probably a little bit broke so what better to do than book some shows and go to some shows. Maybe it’s just a good time to get out of town, snap some ‘grams and hashtag them #WDDI to show off your adventures.
