Deerhunter

1. Partake in Spotlight on the Arts‘ weekend-long Jim McKay love-in, including a screening of his R.E.M. doc Tourfilm Friday at Cine.

2. Let Ben Bridwell break your heart (and join the pregame for tomorrow’s showdown against Auburn) Friday at the 40 Watt. 

3. Also at the 40 Watt: let Deerhunter weird you out and rock you out Saturday night.

4. Another Saturday option: see British folkie Laura Marling at the Georgia Theatre.

5. Eat at Weaver D’s for the last time. 🙁

6. Help Stomp out Domestic Violence with a rousing step competition Sunday at the Classic Center.
