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.
