Doors open at 8 p.m. with the band rocking the winery’s cellar stage at 9 p.m. Count on hearing plenty of spooky songs in The Chalk Outlines signature blend of rock & roll, R&B and country at its second winery show that’s guaranteed to sell out.

Get an Organized Bedroom Closet

Nothing is more frustrating than an untidy bedroom closet. When you’re running late one morning and you can’t find the shirt you intended to wear that day or you can only find one shoe, your day just got off to a bad start. When you’re ready to get things in order, follow these tips from Apartment Therapy and enjoy your new organized space! For more, head to Apartment Therapy.




1. Put things back exactly where they belong.
This tip may be obvious, but I can get lazy about particulars when putting things away. For example, I'll cram my purses haphazardly on their shelf, or throw my shoes on the floor beneath their organizer. If I took an extra two seconds to store things properly, the whole closet would look neater.

2. Take wire hangers back to the dry cleaners.

I have Huggable Hangers, but once I transfer my clothes to them, the wire hangers from the cleaners often grow into an unwieldy pile. I'm going to put them in a designated bag and return them whenever I go to the cleaners.

3. Clean the floor monthly.

You may need only a broom or handvac, but cleaning the floor means finding the floor. It will keep you honest.

4. If it isn't working, fix it.

If you hung scarves on hooks and they keep falling off, or you can't reach the shelf with your jeans, fix it now. Otherwise, it will just keep irritating you. You'll also be less likely to store things there (instead of in a heap elsewhere).

5. A brief seasonal assessment.

Don't wait to do a major clean-out once a year — instead, assess your closet at the end of every season. There's likely a few things that can go in the giveaway pile.
