Hey Spartanburg! Do you have some interesting plans for the weekend? Something you’d like to share with the rest of the class? Here’s the place to do just that. Someone has to go first, don’t they?

Weekend + Fun = Awesome

By Christopher George

So, after the epic, ice-related fail that was last weekend, I’m sure everybody is chomping at the bit to get out and have some fun this weekend. Nothing can stop the awesome train of weekend delight this time! Sure there’s some precipitation coming, and whether we’re looking at freezing rain or just... »

Weekending: Give Me Something To Do

By Christopher George

What happens when it’s time to write the weekend post, but you don’t have any weekend plans? Well, that’s the position I find myself in this week. I’ve got nothing, literally nothing. Let me lay it out for you. Thursday: We usually don’t do a lot on Thursday nights and this one... »

Weekending: Better Late Than Never

By Christopher George

Sure the weekend doesn’t really officially start until Friday, but here at the Spark we’re not beholden to archaic ideas about when things should “start.” Proudly displaying our rebellious streak, we went and made Thursday–everyone’s favorite weekday–part of our weekend plans, and it was glorious. Of course, then I had to go... »

Weekending 101

By Christopher George

Thursdays have long been special for the Spark’s readers. It’s a time to reflect on all that’s good about the end of the week. It’s a time to share our weekend plans not to brag, but in the hope that others might see our plans and feel compelled by some overwhelming sense... »

Weekend Whatnot

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s Thursday! And, as we all know, Thursday is the day when most of us stop dreading the rest of the work week and start looking forward to the weekend. Given that weekends are generally a good thing — at least for those of us not in the hospitality industry — it’s about time... »

New Year’s Plans

By Steve Shanafelt

Thursday is the traditional day for our “Tell us about your weekend plans” question, but given that New Year’s Eve is on Thursday, it seems like we should really get a jump on the subject and ask a day ahead of schedule. So, what are your plans for Thursday evening? Surely there are some parties... »

Weekending: Holiday Edition

By Steve Shanafelt

Even though it’s not technically the weekend, many of us are already off of work thanks to the Christmas holiday. It’s a special time of year, even if the whole religious thing doesn’t interest you, because other people’s belief nets you a few needed days off. Everyone wins. Of course, it does come at a... »

It Came Upon A Weekend Clear

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s Thursday. It’s also the very last weekend before Christmas, meaning that most of you already have your preferred weekend plans trumped by the more urgent need to prepare for the pressure cooker of family togetherness that happens on these final December days. And, if you’re like me, you’ll probably want a place to... »

Weekending: License To Ill

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s probably not going to surprise too many people to know that writing this column about sharing weekend plans is actually one of the main reason I bother to have weekend plans in the first place. After all, most people don’t plan their weekend out in advance unless there’s something fairly exceptional happening,... »

Weekend w00t!

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s Thursday again! And that can only mean one thing! No, no … I’m not talking about garbage day in Hampton Heights! I’m talking about the weekend. Can I get a w00t? Of course, since we’re all going to having weekends at the same time — marvelous coincidence, when you think about it —... »

I Came, I Saw, I Conquered … The Weekend, I Mean

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s Thursday again! And that means it’s time for use to harass all of you fine readers into giving up a shed of your privacy so that we can collectively discuss our plans for the coming weekend. Individually, we may only have one or two good suggestions for how to spend the next... »

Harrowing Tales Of Real Life Weekends!

By Steve Shanafelt

Each week on the Spark we beg, plead and cajole you poor, innocent readers into telling us what you’re up to on the weekend so we don’t have to sift through the local arts coverage and pretend to give you our own badly informed suggestions. After all, you’re a pretty savvy lot, and if... »

By Steve Shanafelt

It’s Thursday! And do you know what that means?! Time to brag and/or gripe about our respective weekend plans! How exciting! (Hence all the exclamation marks!!!)
