Once you find yourself slightly inebriated and filled to the max with your choice of Latin or American cuisine, I know the comic nerd in you is going to guide you to the nearest theatre to see <a href=\"http:\/\/watchmenmovie.warnerbros.com\/\">Watchmen<\/a>, but I wouldn&#8217;t miss the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.workplay.com\/workplay.asp?Page=CalendarPage.aspx\">Ben Kweller show at Workplay<\/a>.  Tonight is the night for this sort of revelry because tomorrow and Sunday are to be spent outdoors, per my orders (I was pre-med, so I know what&#8217;s best for your health).<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I know it&#8217;s all great and wonderful that the city is paving the streets but the novelty of driving around on the fresh pav\u00e9 for entertainment will eventually loose its charm, that&#8217;s why us city folk need to venture out into the country every once in a while.  I suggest you head out to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mulberryraces.com\/\">28<sup>th<\/sup> annual Mulberry Fork Canoe and Kayak Festival<\/a>, which kicks off tomorrow morning.  This event includes kayak and canoe racing as part of the Alabama Cup race series and Dixie Division Open Boat Championship.  The course is spectator friendly with walking trails along the river, plus there will be a silent auction, raffles, and camping.
