The holiday shopping season is now on full-blast as Saturday is the first of December. In this edition of Freeloader Friday we have tons of special events where you can purchase gifts from local artists (including folks who specialize in kink gear!). We've also got a handful of interesting art shows, such as "Known UnKnown," the Soap's annual gallery exhibition featuring work by the talented people who volunteer at the gallery space. Free theater, free soup, free AIDS testing, free comedy, free burlesque, free music, and free parties also made the list. Come take a look!
