Nashville Weekend "It" List: Son, you've got a panty on your head.

We are hitting the lake this weekend, which I am so stoked for...and will be incredibly tired because there is no way I am missing the midnight showing of one of my all time favorites, Raising Arizona at the Belcourt. You can catch it Friday and/or Saturday at midnight (wouldn't that be Saturday or Sunday, then...ah, I digress). Anyway, it should be a beautiful Sunny Saturday, but if you can--carpool this weekend. The air quality is really poor right now. Sigh...

Okay, on to the list!

Friday!

  • How I Became The Bomb w/ Velcro Stars and Rosewood Thieves at the Basement. 9pm ($8)

Saturday!

  • Tift Merritt at the Opry Plaza. 5:30pm (Free!)
