Wednesday | June 27

CORY MORROW
Lowdown: A staple of the Texas country music scene takes the stage. At a barbecue joint. On a hot summer night. Without a cover charge. Not a bad way to get over the Wednesday hump.
When: 8 p.m.
Where: County Line BBQ, 10101 I-10 West
How much: No cover
Info: countyline.com or corymorrow.com

‘LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD'
Lowdown: Sure to be the cheesiest, most ridiculously over-the-top movie since the third “Pirates of the Caribbean” opened earlier this summer, which of course means it will be a major hit.
When: Opens when theaters unlock their doors
Where: See movie listings
Info: livefreeordiehard.com

Thursday | June 28

KATHARINE MCPHEE
Lowdown: Starburst's Thursday Night Concert Series at Fiesta Texas rolls on with McPhee, the runner-up from “American Idol” Season Five. Taylor Hicks, fortunately, will not be opening the show.

How much: Free with park admission ($31.99-$46.99)
Info: (210) 697-5050 or sixflags.com

UNDER NOTHING
Lowdown: Ditch the summer-TV reruns and get out of the house to rock to Under Nothing. Since they're Under Nothing, does that essentially mean they're above everything? That's a somewhat pompous assertion. Also on the bill are ICHOR, D-railed, Water Became Blood and eight other bands.
When: Doors at 7 p.m.
Where: White Rabbit, 2410 N. St. Mary's
How much: $8
Info: sawhiterabbit.com

Friday | June 29

THE UNDERWOOD BROTHERS
Lowdown: Munch on fish tacos while enjoying authentic Texas music on the patio. Does it get truer to San Antonio than that? Only if everyone is still sporting “Go Spurs Go” memorabilia.
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Beto's Comida Latina, 8142 Broadway
How much: No cover
Info: betoscomida latina.com

‘SICKO'
Lowdown: Michael Moore's back, and he's taking on the health-care industry. Sure to be funny, and simultaneously depressing, but perhaps not the best movie to chow down on an extra-large container of super-buttered popcorn. As of press time, some theaters were choosing not to air the film, just fyi.
When: Opens, well, when the corn starts popping
Where: See movie listings
Info: michael moore.com

JOE REYES
Lowdown: Joe Reyes, the guitarist for local favorite Buttercup, is holding a CD-release party in support of his solo EP, Ill-Equipped. Not only that, but he's playing at one of the finest cafes in the city.

Where: Twin Sisters Café & Bakery, 6322 N. New Braunfels Ave.
How much: No cover
Info: myspace.com/ joereyesmusic

Where: Broadway 5050, 5050 Broadway
How much: No cover
Info: five0five0.com

FM 1863
Lowdown: No, not a road trip. It's a band. Their style? That Texas thing. Perfect for the venue, which got its start 113 years ago as a post office and general store.

Sunday | July 1

DIANA-A-THON
Lowdown: It's been 10 years since the “People's Princess” died, so the media is all over that gravy train. Today, which would have been her 46th birthday, the television channels plan to bombard you with old footage, gossip, speculation, gossip, interviews with anyone with a British accent and yet more gossip.
When and where: VH1 “Special Concert for Diana,” 10 a.m.; “Dateline NBC: William and Harry,” 6 p.m.; NBC's “The Princess Diana Tribute Concert,” 7 p.m. And it's safe to expect even more insanity on E!
Info: concertfordiana.com, vh1.com, nbc.com

BAD MANNERS
Lowdown: For a ska band playing at The White Rabbit, it's hard to imagine a more fitting band name.
When: 7 p.m. doors
Where: White Rabbit, 2410 N. St. Mary's St.
How much: $15-$17
Info: sawhiterabbit.com

How much: Free

Tuesday | July 3

‘TRANSFORMERS'
Lowdown: It's either going to rock or suck, with no middle ground. Either way, it's going to clean up at the box office. And isn't that the ultimate goal anyway?
When: Opens when theater doors are unlocked
Where: See movie listings
Info: transformersmovie.com

TONYC SUMMER JAM
Lowdown: You're off tomorrow, so spend tonight dancing at this third annual DJ fest. Fourteen DJs will be turning the tables and keeping the beat going all night long. Ladies, just come in your flip-flops; you'd only be carrying your heels around by 10 p.m. anyway.
When: 8 p.m.
Where: Club Antro, 7959 Fredericksburg Road
How much: $12-$15
Info: (210) 949-5131 or ticketmaster.com

SURVIVOR SLAM 8
Lowdown: Poets compete as individuals and in teams to win the title of Survivor Slam Champion. Billed as “thrilling performance pugilism,” the show pits poets against each other as they tackle haiku, improv and (shudder) karaoke.
When: 9:30 p.m.
Where: Sam's Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson
How much: $3
Info: samsburgerjoint.com

‘LICENSE TO WED'
Lowdown: Jim from “The Office” and Mandy Moore want to get hitched. There's just one thing standing in their way: Patch Adams. OK, here he's called the Rev. Frank, but doesn't Robin Williams pretty much always play the same character anyway?
When: Opens your favorite theater opens
