Category Archives: This Week on Timetable

So what would you tell your 15 year-old self?

That’s the Magic City Question that we pose to you this week. Click here to add your answer to the mix…

(If you answer here, we’ll have to move it over there, and that just takes away from us being able to get more news up Wink).

Susannah Felts submitted the question to us – after seeing the responses that the guys over at Gapers Block got after they posted it in their Fuel section. Incidentally, Felts will be having a book signing event tomorrow evening at The Bottletree – one of two for her first novel. Trav interviewed her to find out some more about the book and it’s now up on Timetable – check it out.

FYI – you can now get a taste of what’s going on around the site by checking out the central column of our front page – that is, if you’re normally reading us via RSS or email. We figured you’d like that one-stop shop idea.

Time to make plans…

In all fairness, we here at the Terminal thought you might need more time to plan for the weekend. Some of the events we highlight have limited seating or the potential to sell out quickly. While we can’t keep stuff from selling out, we’re at least going to give you more of a fighting chance by giving you a heads up a few days earlier.

So if you care to see what Christina basically has planned for her weekend and the events she thinks you’ll be interested in too, click here to keep reading.

We haven’t been completely quiet this week…

…it’s just that most of the action’s been over on Timetable as we get ready to (finally) make some minor tweaks to the site. So just in case you’re wondering what’s been going on over there, here’s a taste:

Sam’s got his picks for the weekend.

Christina’s got some other ideas of the non-musical variety.

Trav’s giving us a heads up on a new bookstore opening.

Poke around and take a look.

On Timetable: music and living on a shoestring

Perhaps a little less than a shoestring depending on how you view the world. Sam’s current suggestions for weekend musical satisfaction is up, courtesy of r3vrb.

Meanwhile, Terri’s In Love With spending as little as possible while still living the high life. Sounds like a great reason to file this post.

Over on Timetable: music and dive bars

They’re usually a pretty good combination once you get to thinking about them…

Check out some picks for where to go catch some of the best shows in Birmingham this weekend as well as a primer to area dive bars (a la Terri) over on Timetable.

We’re “In Love With” Timetable’s newest column

Thanks to yesterday’s storms, we didn’t get a chance to properly introduce and welcome back Terri Dann to our band of merry bloggers. Not that she’s ever really left – she’s contributed previously to Timetable and is currently settling into her new job at Birmingham-based Mental Floss magazine.

“In Love With” is about whatever Terri decides it will be about, but always about something that relates back to things happening and going on in The Magic City. Check out the first edition of the column and let her know what you think.

Introducing r3vrb destinations

That’s right folks… Sam George is hopping on board this train and joining the gang over on Timetable. He currently writes a local music blog, r3vrb.com. Beginning today (actually about 30 minutes ago), you’ll find his reviews about our local music scene for the upcoming weekend  on our arts and culture section.

Check out his first installment of r3vrb destinations, let him know what you think and welcome him aboard.

OK, stop sitting over here, get reading
