what's going on this weekend?

This weekend marks my first trip to Huntsville, Ala., where I'll be attending a wedding on Saturday. The bride is my friend/former co-worker Amanda, who's been the subject of many prior blog posts. You'll likely remember her in the context of cage dancing and her remarkable take on the running man. Well, she's (kind of) surrendering those elements for married life now, and I can't wait to see how hot she looks this weekend.

If you're going to be in town this weekend, check out Daileys, 1039 Broadway in Columbus. It's the new club I wrote about in this week's column and I'd like to hear what you think.

In terms of live music, the lineup at The Loft looks pretty good. Tonight, the club hosts Zac Brown, a Southern rocker who says his music demonstrates what would happen "if Jimmy Buffett had a younger brother playing music in the Georgia wild." Saturday, you'll get New York City-based jam band U-Melt.

Another good bet for live music? Broad Street Blues (913 Broad St., Phenix City), which hosts house band Peggy Jenkins and the Rythm Roosters tonight and Tony Tyler Trance on Saturday. Both nights pretty much guarantee a good time.

TGIF.
