We’re looking forward to trying out a new product for #bhamchat tonight. Thanks to @dryan for the chance to do so…

How’s everybody doing this evening? #bhamchat #bham

Will try to keep up with #bhamchat despite distractions of wing sauce and Reds game.

@bhamchat #bhamchat I’ll probably be lurking tonight. But maybe I’ll pipe up. 😉

Checking out this week’s #bhamchat and wondering how we could do something similar in #CHA.

#bhamchat. I’m here. what are we talking about?

sorry for the silence folks – getting situated… #bhamchat

@bhamwiki urban renewal? #bhamchat

#bhamchat Q1: 4 slices from @BhamCentrale is the gold standard.

@bhamchat @wadeontweets #bhamchat I like bernetti’s in Leeds/Pelham that’s a good bkfast place

@bhamchat bbq of course, but also Greek food. Wish the city did a better job playing up greek heritage #bhamchat

Q1: Al’s near UAB #bhamchat

#bhamchat Q1: and for a treat, Chez Fon Fon does everything very well.

Q1: I like a special dog from Pete’s (OK, two special dogs) 🙂 #bhamchat

@bhamchat @wadeontweets #bhamchat also like @Tazikis_Bham

#bhamchat @acnatta Someone needs to start a @FakeGusKoutroulakis twitter account…

@acnatta this may be treason but I actually prefer Chris Z’s hot dogs #bhamchat

@bhamchat Thanks for the shout out. So many Bham foods. I love a good shrimp dinner at Fish Market on Southside! #bhamchat

RT @bhamwiki: #bhamchat @acnatta Someone needs to start a @FakeGusKoutroulakis twitter account… -solid

@WadeOnTweets #bhamchat it’s all u can eat cook to order… But it only in the morning

FYI – for those wondering, Brazil’s up 1-0 on #usmnt in soccer match. #bhamchat

#bhamchat Q2 I’m not much for events. Good paper, though.

@bhamchat @bhambizjrnl @ikepigott #bhamchat sounds like fun! Can I get an invite? Lol

2 minutes til Q3 #bhamchat

@bhamchat sitting at buffalo wild wings and not a single tv on soccer. Guess world cup fever is over. #bhamchat

@chris_depew we were wondering about that ourselves… #bhamchat – but it’s now 2-0 Brazil BTW – heh

Q3: per @bhamwiki Railroad Park’s opening in mid-Sept, what types of programming do you want to see there? #bhamchat

Q3 Crawfish Boil or any outdoor concerts would be nice #bhamchat

More info on Q3: http://bit.ly/cH98FR #bhamchat

@bhamchat @bhamwiki #bhamchat be nice to have fundraisers and gave community events.. Like fairs and fun get togethers:)

BTW – you don’t have to @ us in your answer, the #bhamchat hashtag will make sure folks see it. We don’t mind the attention though 🙂

#bhamchat Q3: Skate competitions, blues festivals, symphony performances…

Q3: Also would be a cool place to watch a movie #bhamchat

@bhamchat @bhamwiki #bhamchat fishing and maybe boats rides.. That would be cool to have it stocked with fish for the kids

#bhamchat Q3: And I’d like to see City Stages resurrected on a smaller scale, focusing on unique mash-up bookings w/ intl appeal.

Q3 I would like to see things that let people know how much RR’s have meant to the city #bhamchat

Hey guys, what’s #bhamchat?

@bhamwiki #bhamchat citystages needs to stay gone!

@ramsaytroy #bhamchat like a marker explaining how the RRs refused to let the park extend into their easement.

@iGoBOGO it’s a weekly online chat about Birmingham – http://bhamterminal.com/mybirmingham/bhamchat/ #bhamchat

@bhamwiki what about new years eve festival? Whatever they do, they better stay on top of security or it will be a wasted chance. #bhamchat

@sketsananer #bhamchat it doesn’t have to be the same people or format, but CS 1989-1995 were GREAT events, well worth trying to resurrect.

@sketsananer @bhamwiki #bhamchat as a local musician I’ll second (third?) the “no City Stages” sentiment

@chris_depew #bhamchat NYE is a great idea for the RR Park!

@bhamwiki @sketsananer #bhamchat are you gonna check out #baamfest next weekend? Better format than CS and concerned with the locals

Now it’s 2-0 #bra #bhamchat

@dgarvich you lead quite nicely into Q4: Should folks be comparing @baamfest to @citystages? Is that fair? #bhamchat

@dgarvich #bhamchat I love that @baamfest is happening, will plan to make some shows, and hope it gets huge

#bhamchat Q4: I’d call @baamfest a “showcase” for acts, where City Stages was more of a people festival. Both have/had great potential.

@_colm thanks for checking in tonight! #bhamchat

@iGoBOGO we hope you do soon! Enjoy the night! #bhamchat

@dgarvich #bhamchat #baamfest habent heard about it till now but love local artist support will look into it! 🙂 have new plans!!!

#bhamchat has baamfest gone bankrupt yet?

RT @bhamchat: @dgarvich you lead quite nicely into Q4: Should folks be comparing @baamfest to @citystages? Is that fair? #bhamchat

Q4 Here’s some more info on @baamfest – http://baamfest.com/blog/ #bhamchat

@bhamchat It’s a tough comparison. CS was marketing and sales via “big” acts. #baam is more about local culture. #bhamchat

@bhamterminal it’s much the same as preferring chain restaurants over local chefs. The more local the better, IMHO. #bhamchat

Q5 (last one) up next #bhamchat

Q5 How do you feel about feeding the homeless in 5 Points South? Good idea or bad idea? #bhamchat

@bhamchat #bhamchat can’t compare citystages was to big for the organizers to handle they didn’t know how to http://tl.gd/31tq2k

RT @bhamchat: Q5 How do you feel about feeding the homeless in 5 Points South? Good idea or bad idea? #bhamchat

@bhamchat bad BAD!!! #bhamchat I work hard! Y can’t they? There r programs to help!

Q5: Good idea #bhamchat

#bhamchat Q5 I’m all for the act, and I’m not against the locale, but the church should be doing everything it can to prevent problems

RT @bhamchat: Q5 How do you feel about feeding the homeless in 5 Points South? Good idea or bad idea? #bhamchat

@bhamchat I feed them every time I play a show there in exchange for being roadie for a night. 😉 Some GOOD folks. So I say YES! #bhamchat

@bhamchat #bhamchat unless it is funded by individuals without city or goverment help! Help them get jobs not to keep being lazy!

@sketsananer It’s funded by members of Highlands United Methodist Church and other donors. #bhamchat

@dgarvich @bhamchat #bhamchat they did work for food .. That good!

@sketsananer @bhamchat yeah, some are willing, others not. I support those willing to support themselves. #bhamchat

@bhamwiki #bhamchat than good for them than but they need to help them be productive and get a job and help put into society .

till next time #bhamchat

Before we forget, special thanks to @dryan and @jehawbaker for helping us out tonight! #bhamchat
