As the writer of the new got plans 2.0 column I’ve graciously been given the liberty to write what I wish when it comes to the awesome events happening each weekend here in Birmingham. I’m a good man for the job because I’m no freshman to what the city has to offer, but in this third week I’m finding it hard to pick and choose the Terminal-worthy events that you readers may be looking for.

So I’ve been thinking and have decided that I’m going to put got plans in your hands this weekend. Got plans 2.0 is three weeks old today; way too young to be setting a standard and definitely not to old to keep it from becoming what you want it to be. Our philosophy at The Terminal is to maintain a conversation between the contributors and our community. I want that with got plans; that’s why I ask you to comment if you know of something else going on or if I totally missed the mark in terms of my picks. Ultimately, my plans are your plans and they should be good plans ’cause you guys deserve them.

So this week I’m asking this favor; after you read the post, make a comment listing an event that you want to go to this weekend and make a suggestion about the types of things you’d like me to let you know about each weekend. Whether it’s more shows, more music, more arts and culture, or if you just want to know which bars and restaurants are the best weekend bets. Let me know so I can share.

I won’t leave you guys completely on your own this weekend. Here’s my quick and easy list of suggestions for the weekend:

It’s Friday the 13^th again and Sloss Furnaces is hoping to make you feel like your luck’s run out by showing “Friday the 13^th” in the shed. They definitely got this one right because scary movies are always scarier at Sloss.

The Tragic City Rollers are having their first home match of 2009 tonight. Check it out over on destinations.

For those of you wanting to get all HGTV, the Birmingham Spring Home and Garden Show is running through the weekend…

and this is the third Sunday of the month, so If you’ve never heard of it I’d check out On Stage @ the Carver, “a night of poetry and wine featuring Birmingham’s finest spoken word artists” at the Carver Theatre.

Whatever you do this weekend, be safe and enjoy it.
