Well, there’s no Alive @ Five tonight, and that’s awfully, awfully sad. Rain, rain, go away. What is happening this weekend, however, is the kickoff to the Downtown Frederick Partnership’s Move Night on the Creek. “Independence Day” is slated to be screened tomorrow night (that’s Friday, for those keeping track), and it promises to be awesome. The fun begins at 8 p.m. And it’s free. As we say every week, you can’t beat free. Also this weekend is a pretty great show at The Blue Side. Silent Old Mtns. (above) will be sharing the stage with The Milestones, whose latest EP we reviewed this week, and Haint Blue. Also Friday night, over in Shepherdstown, Rhin is going to release a record at The Opera House and among the support acts on that bill are Cheshi, who you know we love. There’s the Monocacy Jazz Quartet. There’s Community Center. There’s Future Sound. There’s Rew Smith. There’s 3 A.M., which features our dear old friend Pete Goodwin. And then, of course, there is a Death Fest. Come for the metal. Stay for the mosh. June is slowly getting away from us all. Don’t allow the flood threats to dampen your weekend (see what we did there?!). Meet good people. Eat good food.
