IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Dating apps are the worst. Watching strangers shoot their shot in public? Muuuch better. Atlanta's cult-favorite live dating show, Game.Set.Match. makes its Nashville debut at Love & Exile on June 26th, where audience members can either stay safely in the crowd or volunteer as a tribute to see what happens. Come hang, and relive your Mallrats fantasy.

• Monday plans: jazz, cocktails, and pretending you totally know how many albums Herbie Hancock released. What you DO know (now) is that the Ian Miller Quartet takes over Cafe Roze on June 8th with live music starting at 9 PM and drink specials flowing all night, so act on it and thank us later!
