Of course, if you planned ahead, the big show of the day is down at the Superpages.com Center. No Doubt's frontwoman, Gwen Stefani, was quoted recently as saying that the group decided to get back together to record a new album. But, fresh off a new kid and feeling shut in the studio, Stefani decided she wanted to hit the road. Supporting No Doubt is Paramore, whose single from the Twilight soundtrack, "Decode," is getting massive radio play at the moment.

Sunday

It's Sunday and B.B. King is in town. Where the heck else would you be?
