Shut Up, Already

Friday, September 05, 2003  

Note to self: Stop whining about the dearth of cultural events in Knoxville. I was just flipping through this week's issue of The Metro Pulse, and I noticed the following:

• 9/8 - The Pernice Brothers at the Pilot Light. Sweet!


• 9/8 - John Singleton lecture at the University Center


• 9/10 - Jay Farrar at Blue Cats


• 9/13 - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Chamber drama at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church (starring one of my best friends as Nick)


• 9/13 - Always Patsy Cline at the Clarence Brown Theater. Okay, so there's no chance I'll be seeing this one, but I'm stoked for their next show, Buried Child.

That's not a bad week. And I haven't even mentioned the Tennessee Valley Fair, which opens this weekend, featuring Tone-Loc, Young MC, Cledus T. Judd, The Marshall Tucker Band, Loverboy, and lots of other people who might, in fact, also be pseudo-celebrities. (Judging by the publicity shots, I would guess that they're all famous cowboy hat models.) Just try to read that lineup out loud without breaking into a big ol' grin. I love fair season. Hatching chicks, funnel cakes, people-watching, and that mysterious fair stank. Gotta love it. (More on this in the coming days — hopefully with pictures.)
