We’ve been doing the weekend post pretty much the same way for weeks now. Every week, it’s “check out these awesome things,” and you guys are all “ok, doubt it.”
It’s starting to get a little stale. So, we know we needed to bring a little life into the format. You know, to keep it fresh.
That said, this weekend post is a dialogue between my dog Steve, and my couch.

Well, that sucked. Here’s what’s going on this weekend.
Friday, first, head to Ultra Studios for their Grand Opening. Eat some wine. Drink some cheese. Check out some fashions and some art.
Next, watch the Razorbacks obliterate the Ole Miss Lame-o’s (that’s their new mascot. Makes sense).
Then, check out some tunes. The Exequals are at Arsaga’s on Crossover, Hot Shot Karate is at the Boom Boom Room, the Cate Brothers will be at George’s for Happy Hour. Mountain of Venus and Speakeasy will be on stage at George’s late night.
The Crumbs are at the Smoke and Barrel, and if you haven’t seen Fiddler on the Roof yet, word on the street is, “do it.”
Saturday, go to the Dog Walk at Gulley Park, rescheduled from a couple weeks ago. Don’t forget about the Farmers’ Market on the Square, and there’s also more baseball during the day.
Saturday night, there’s a huge metal show at George’s with one of the best bands in the metal business with Rwake. Check out their Pitchfork review. Plus they’re from Arkansas.
Also on Saturday, St. Anthony and Fire Don’t Care will be at Smoke and Barrel, and you can check out What Army at Smiling Jacks.
On Sunday, we’re hearing rumors of a pretty sweet secret show at the Smoke and Barrel. All we’re saying is, don’t make other plans. Trust us.
Let’s check back in on Steve.
Steve: zzz (snoring)
