This is your friendly neighborhood reminder that tomorrow evening is our monthly Terminally Happy Hour at The Bottletree! We sat around trying to figure out how to get a few more folks to come on out and join the conversation (especially since there is a Sex and the City preview party tomorrow evening as well courtesy of My Scoop).
So we figured “Why not give away two (2) pairs of weekend passes to City Stages 20?”, and that’s what we’re going to do!

Here’s the view from our spot at Do Dah Day in Caldwell Park. If you haven’t left the house just yet, you still have time to find us today sharing some tent space with Black & White and ArtWalk. We’re next to those guys from Fox 6 next to the stage. Stop on by and say hi…

Some of you may have stumbled across our clothing options on Zazzle.com (and we don’t plan on taking that down yet) but we realized that we wanted to offer our shirt for a little less. So if you haven’t been on the site we know you haven’t seen this new ad in the far right column yet:
We are currently offering Black Terminal Ts through the site on our new The Store page with prices starting at $14.

I’m not exactly sure if this will work, especially since there are so many folks that will probably not see this in time, but it doesn’t hurt to ask…
We did the math last night and figured that there’s got to be at least 50 It’s Nice to Have You in Birmingham (Black Terminal) t-shirts currently floating around The Magic City. We also figure that most of you will be at least considering showing up at the Magic City Art Connection during this weekend (rain or shine). So, we were wondering if it would be possible to get most of you to wear your shirts this weekend when you head out there – I’ll wear mine on Saturday. We just figured it would be a pretty cool way to let folks know who’s reading the site (and maybe even get some more folks involved).
There’s a second part to this request – to ask all of you that currently have shirts to send in a picture to us of you wearing it. We’ll share it with everybody else in a new gallery that we’re setting up as soon as we get the first images in. Send your photos to photos@bhamterminal.com or if you’re a Flickr member, add them to our Flickr group.
Thanks a lot and enjoy the weekend!

I want to first of all thank you for your support during the last year while we’ve attempted to provide you a different source of information here in Birmingham.
We recently presented at BarCampBirmingham explaining why we created the site. Click here to view a portion of that presentation.
Last week we reiterated our intentions to launch a voluntary subscription model for The Terminal as a way to sustain it while introducing new advertising rates that, while a little lower than what many would expect, would allow us to expand our ability to maintain and manage this site. It would enable us to pay contributors for longer pieces and cover other expenses associated with running the site.
I wanted to let you know that we have determined that unless we are able to begin to generate revenue before June 30, we will have no choice but to shut the site down. We would stop posting new original content as of May 30.
If you want to help keep it going, you can participate in our voluntary subscription program, purchase one of our Black Terminal t-shirts or encourage local merchants to consider contacting us about advertising on the site. We have held off on publishing our new rates but would be happy to share if contacted.
Again, we appreciate those of you that have received support from in all the ways you’ve provided it in the past year and we’ll keep you updated as things progress.
Enjoy the ride!

In case you didn’t know, we’re hosting our first ever Terminally Happy Hour this evening over at The Bottletree. We’ve learned a couple of things since we first announced this event…
The Bottletree’s going to run happy hour prices until 8 p.m., meaning that we’ve actually got an extra hour for the event (thanks guys!)
There’s going to be a Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathon afterwards (here’s the info courtesy of The Bottletree).
So come on out, enjoy the patio, the Magic City Manhattan (bourbon, sweet vermouth, and a splash of bitters) and the company of fellow readers and members of our staff!
If you feel like letting us know if you’re going to be there, RSVP via our invites on MySpace or Facebook.
