Happy Friday! Here's a list of five things you won't want to miss in Memphis this weekend:

1. Spillit: On the Road, Stories of Travel, Crosstown Arts, Saturday, 7 p.m., free

Comedy fans, mark your calendars: acerbic stand-up comedian Doug Stanhope is stopping in Memphis on his current tour.

The rumors are true: Broad Ave. is getting a new craft brewery / tap room in 2013.

Every few days, I spend a considerable amount of time scrolling through Cute Overload, oohing and aww-ing over videos of adorable animals, especially the ones of cats. There are surprised cats, cats trapped in boxes, and, in my recent favorite, cats attempting to bathe surprisingly willing Boston terriers.

As sad as I was when I found out that Do was closing, two things have made it ok: 1) the Beauty Shop selling Do's curry noodle soup; and 2) DKDC (the bar that opened its place) is great.
 

Ed. Note: The nice thing about living in a music city is that we get a ton of great live shows every single month. The tough thing, however, is deciding which bands to see. With that in mind, here are 10 recommendations for shows you won't want to miss in the coming month.

These are by no means the only great bands playing in Memphis this month. For more complete listings, check the blog's calendar.
