BARRY COURTER: Lisa, why is it that whenever there is something I really want to do, it usually conflicts with another high-appeal event? Next Saturday night is such an evening.
Wine Over Water and the Black Jacket Symphony presentation of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album at the Tivoli Theatre are both that night.
I know that Wine Over Water is from 5 to 8 p.m., so it will end when BJS is starting, but I would just feel awkward sipping a nice chardonnay with those “Thriller” fangs and talons. Gotta paint up.
LISA DENTON: Barry, that’s just fall in the Tennessee Valley. I’m surprised anybody schedules events during college football season, but I guess it must be done. But that’s why you see televisions turned to the SEC Network at corn mazes … and weddings.
Speaking of corn mazes, Rock City opens its Enchanted Maize this weekend at Blowing Springs Farm in Flintstone, Ga. And if that’s too folksy for you, you can head to Ruby Falls for the Haunted Cavern or out Highway 58 to The Haunted Hilltop. I mean, you’ll be wearing your “Thriller” garb anyway. You’ll fit right in.
