Weekend Tip Sheet



It sounds like I'm making this up, but Ben Folds is going to play a Bonefish Grill in Newport News next week. At work today, we received a press release saying that Folds is taping a TV show at the restaurant on Thursday afternoon, starting about 2 p.m. While it's a private taping, the restaurant is giving away 50 pairs of tickets. If you're interested, you'll have to stop by a Bonefish location in Hampton Roads and enter for a drawing. I know all this sounds completely implausible, but I talked to the restaurant manager today and it's really happening.

Turning to the long holiday weekend, here are a few events to keep in mind:

Tonight (It's not too late if you can get your tail in gear), go see Pawnshop Lifters over at Baron's Pub in Portsmouth. The Taphouse has Gina Dalmas (probably on stage as I write this) and Seth Walker from Austin, Texas, playing blues and rockin' soul.

Saturday, Liberty IV in Newport News has a full night of hardcore planned. Performing will be Shipwreck Ad, Bracewar, Trapped Under Ice, Jerk City, Punchout (from Newport News), and Impulse. Action starts at 7 p.m.
Meanwhile The Taphouse has Action Habit and Churn. Music there starts about 10 p.m.

Enjoy your long, lovely weekend, y'all.
