Weekend Round-Up: Pee Wee Style

Hey, I'll bet you didn't know that today is legendary Pee Wee Herman-portrayer Paul Reubens' birthday! Or maybe you did. Which I guess would be a little weird. Anyway, I've always been an "I'm With Pee Wee" sort of guy, so I can get down with a Reubens-inspired round-up theme. Plus, he allegedly spends a lot of time here in Nashville. Hey! Maybe we could get him to be a Cream contributor!

Anyway, an important note: Apparently a Mercy Lounge ad ran a little funny in this week's paper — which, by the way, features music editor and Cream Captain Steve Haruch's cover story on climate change. The ad didn't have tonight's Lord T & Eloise show feat. Chancellor Warhol and Free Sol, nor did it mention The Dynamites' show tomorrow night or Hot Hot Heat on Wednesday. So absorb that knowledge and act accordingly. In addition to Mercy's happenings, you've also got Jeff Daniels (the actor!) playing music, Powerbrrrd with Diarrhea Planet, Here Come the Mummies, Bell Biv DeVoe, Ttotals' record release, the 9 Deep DJ Battle, Natalie Merchant and more. Hmmm. Pee Wee, Bell Biv DeVoe, Jeff Daniels, Natalie Merchant ... something about this weekend feels very late-’80s/early-’90s, no? Have a look at our listings, compiled by Mr. Adam Gold, after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have a good one.

Why not celebrate Mr. R's bday by catching him in the new Solondz film opening at the Belcourt, "Life During Wartime"?
