Mid-week checkin. How’s everyone doing!?

Need a win? I gotchu. Prizes this good don’t require an intro, so let’s get into it.

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

I don’t know if y’all have seen the surprises Kacey Musgraves has been rolling out on her Middle of Nowhere Tour, but it looks like she’s having a real ball…or two. 👀 I bought tickets to the September 27 show pretty much the second they went on sale, and I’d love for you to get in on the fun, too! Giddy up and enter to win tickets to the September 28 show.*

WHENEVER

LOCALS ONLY

• Another one bites the dust. 💔 Cumberland Hardware, a family-owned Five Points fixture, will close its doors at the end of the year after 42 years in business. The store thanked the East Nashville community for decades of support but has not shared a reason for the closure.

• My husband and I have a really cheap mid-week date night, and I’ve decided to stop gatekeeping it. All TailGate Brewery locations offer half-price pizzas every Wednesday, so we usually split a gluten-free cheese pizza with hot honey and whipped ricotta while trying a new beer or cider (for me). It’s an even better deal if you’re a Mug Club member, just sayin’. 🍕
