The Daily Plan-It
Weekend edition: Friday, June 18-Sunday, June 20
A brief introduction: This is the first edition of a new Metro Pulse feature, your Daily Plan-It. Every weekday, we will post a quick summary of the most important, interesting, or otherwise noteworthy things happening in and around Knoxville that day. Friday editions, like this one, will cover the entire weekend. It will spotlight culture and entertainment events, governmental and civic meetings, and anything else that gets our attention for one reason or another. We are launching this on our Daily Pulse blog, but it will soon migrate to its own bookmarkable home on our website.
Also--and this is the part we're really looking forward to--we will soon offer it as a daily digital newsletter that you can subscribe to, so that you will wake up every morning with it sitting in your inbox. Never again will you walk into the office only to discover from a coworker that that black-metal band you really like was at Pilot Light the night before (and they were awesome), or pick up the newspaper to find that City Council voted on that urban hen ordinance without you knowing about it.
So, without further fanfare, your first Plan-It.
CULTCHA
Secret City Festival
Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., downtown Oak Ridge. Mix of free and paid events.
Chubby Checker will be there. Snoopy, too.
Mason Jennings w/Julia Nunes
Friday, 8 p.m., Bijou Theatre. $19.50.
Twin Cities troubadour who wrote a song about Paul Wellstone. Plus Julia Nunes, who does those awesome ukelele covers on YouTube.
Saturday, 10 p.m., Pilot Light. $10.
Psychedelic D.C. trio will blow your mind. Or at least muddle it a bit.
Place of Skulls w/Ophiuchus, Armament, Bloated Carcass, and Cannibal Rites
Saturday, 9 p.m., Longbranch Saloon.
If the names didn't clue you in, this is a metal show. Place of Skulls is the current outfit of ex-Pentagram guitarist Victor Griffin. If that doesn't mean anything to you, proceed with caution.
ETC.

Bring a picnic to the grounds of the historic home on Dandridge Avenue, just east of downtown. There will be a vintage auto show of Model A&T Fords, and music by Christabel and the Jons. BYOB.
