I’ve been at the Birmingham Diversity Summit for most of the morning, so imagine my surprise when I learned that the Lasers Edge has announced that it’s closing its doors by the end of the year. The Birmingham News breaking news blog has more information about this shock to our local business community.

While we’d normally encourage you to visit their website for more information, but I’m going to lean towards insisting that you go down to the store in downtown Homewood and thank them for what they’ve meant to the local music scene.

According to the News’ post, the store will remain open until 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays but will begin opening at 11 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.

There’s tons of stuff to cover today, but we figured we’d just give y’all something to get you in the mood…

Don’t forget to wonder on down to 2^nd Avenue North later on tonight in downtown Birmingham for what’s become an annual tradition. If we knew what time we’d tell you, but we don’t. Submit some pictures if you’re so inclined of costumes, parties, whatever…

Lily Tomlin, Alys Stephens Center

She’s one funny lady. Expect the reprisal of many of Tomlin’s favorite characters from Ernestine the Operator on “Laugh-In” to Edith Ann, her devilish six-year-old alter ego. If you need to kill time, visit Tomlin’s official site. You won’t really learn that much about the star, but there sure is a bunch to look at. That may be all you do. While The ASC Web site reports the show is almost sold out, a call to the box office confirms it. We know our readers are smart and if you really want to get in, you’ll find a way. Good luck.
