The Downtown Week Ahead (September 22 – 28, 2013)

If you see an event I’ve missed and you’d like to plug, please comment below or e-mail me (knoxvilleurbanguy@gmail.com) and I’ll try to add it. The list may, accordingly, be expanded through the week. Staying true to the scope of the blog, I’ll only list downtown or near-downtown events. The Well and The Shed have some great events, for example, but I have to draw a line somewhere. If you want to add those in a comment, that’s fine.

Please :

  • “Friend” me on Facebook and invite me to your events.
  • Look over to the right of this post and not only “friend” me, but “like” Inside of Knoxville.
  • Subscribe (also to the right) to make sure you catch all the posts.
  • Click the ads of my sponsors. Support them. Tell them you saw their ad here!

 

I’m straying from my normal format at the front and rear of this post. On the front end it’s because HOLA was re-scheduled from yesterday’s monsoon to today and moved from Regas Square to Market Square, so I’ve highlighted it. At the back end I’ve added an event which isn’t technically until the next week, but it’s such a cool annual event, I wanted you to have time to make plans. So, here we go.
