Jeremy Harper, a Birmingham, Alabama resident, is counting to one million (1,000,000) and broadcasting it live via webcam.
He’s somewhere around 16,500 as of 2:15 p.m.

So says Charles Buchanan over at Pop Goes the City as he provides a great post about this year’s Art on the Rocks concerts. FYI – he’s also the guy who did the really cool wood block cut used in our header. Check it out.
