There's a lot to do while you're in town. If you're downtown, check out the Chatterbox for live jazz or the Slippery Noodle for blues. On the Friday night after T-day there is a big 'tree' lighting ceremony downtown on the circle. If you like big crowds it's kind of fun.

Cracker's Comedy Club is downtown (4 blocks south of the circle). The Noodle is another 2 blocks south of that. If you shop, Circle Center Mall is also right downtown.

That's just a small sample of happenings. Check out the two links below and grab a hardcopy when you get to town.
