Founder note
Honestly, it started because I was tired of finding out about things after they happened. I’d see pictures from an event and think, “Man, I would’ve gone to that if I’d known about it.” And I knew I couldn’t be the only one. So I created HeyWAGO to make it a little easier for all of us to find out what’s happening around the RGV before we miss it.
