We’re deviating only slightly from our Birmingham only stance today, so I figured we’d take a look at a new site in Huntsville, AL (thanks to Nicki for the tip!).

Color Me Huntsville is a blog that looks at arts and entertainment happenings in the Rocket City and looks to be an expansion of a column that C.A. Marks has recently started writing for al.com.
They’re just going to keep on sprouting up… cool, huh?

Folks that have been driving into downtown for work or play anytime in the last couple of weeks may have noticed a new sign hanging a couple of doors down from Urban Standard along 2nd Avenue North. It appears to be a new music venue preparing to open downtown called Rogue – one of many projects that seem to be taking place throughout the city center. It’s promising nightly entertainment, Cajun-inspired food and a full bar. We’ll see if we can’t get some more info in the near future for you.

Five citizens are being honored for their contributions to the history of the city of Birmingham by being named the latest additions to the city’s Gallery of Distinguished Citizens. The annual induction ceremony is being held at Vulcan Park this afternoon beginning at 12 p.m. and it’s open to the public.
Oscar Adams, Jr., Colonel Stone Johnson, Nina Miglionico, Steve Orel, & J. Richmond Pearson will be honored with bronze statues and a new interactive kiosk when their likenesses are place in City Hall. Check out the News’ coverage from earlier this week as well.
In case you’re wondering, we’ve already posted the names of the winners of the eight weekend passes we’ve been giving away for City Stages on the contest page. We’d like to take a moment and thank everyone who entered (and there were a lot of you) – and now we’d like to say that we still have two passes left to give away…
We were thinking of the most fair way to give these two passes away while seeing folks show their love for the music festival (as well as for us)… and we’ve settled on giving them away separately. Here’s the catch, we’ve got to see you tomorrow (Friday) at lunchtime over at Java and Jams (321 20th Street North).
