That's partly the reason I missed sending the newsletter last week! I hope everyone has their costumes ready because there sure are a lot of costume friendly events this weekend. And to comment on some news that isn't necessarily relevant to curating local events, but is more in the vein of "keep your neighbors safe", this week has been a very significant one with regards to **web security and vulnerabilities**. It's a good time to think about reviewing your password security, updating all your devices to the latest operating systems and spreading the word to friends and family to do the same. I've sent [this particular list of recommendations](https://x.com/mattshumer%5F/status/2113360930876580337?s=46&ref=jeffcocrew.com) to my people. Happy week-before-Halloween-that-everyone-treats-like-Halloween!
