What’s up on Timetable

Posted on March 21, 2008 | Leave a comment

We’ve been quiet about the happenings over on Timetable this week, being a Spring Break week and all…

Sam’s musical picks for the weekend are up as are Christina’s suggestions for Easter weekend.

In Love With took the week off ( we think they’ll be back next week – they may add that second week of vacation on now as opposed to this summer).

We’re also wondering with the announcement of The Roots for City Stages 20, we’d have to tie it into our current Magic City Question…

Click on over and let us know what you think.

Enjoy the weekend!

Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex employee Darrell Alldredge puts a  final coat of paint on the goal post Wednesday morning in preparation for this weekend’s NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament Regional. They’ve been working on improvements to the facility since January in preparation for this weekend’s action.

First round games start Friday at 12:15 p.m. with Tennessee (29-4) vs. American (22-11), then 30 minutes later, Butler (29-3) vs. South Alabama (26-6). At 7:10 p.m. ?Oklahoma (22-11) vs. Saint Joseph’s (21-12), and 30 minutes after the end of that game, Louisville (24-8) vs. Boise State (26-6).

Single game tickets go on sale this morning and you’ve still got time to fill out your brackets – at least until 10:55 p.m. (and that’s if you’re playing along with the NCAA).

Let’s call happy hour tonight – seriously!

Foosball table

One of the new initiatives that we’re planning on is a monthly happy hour at The Bottletree. Since the weather’s cleared up (mostly), and mainly because I just want to see what happens, I’m calling happy hour for… TONIGHT!!

No, this isn’t the official start, but we thought what the hell (we did mention it on our MySpace profile yesterday).

From 5 – 7 p.m. tonight, venture on over to Avondale and sit out on The Bottletree’s side patio (it’s covered) and enjoy The Terminally Happy Hour.

Right now it’s pretty quiet (but there’s foosball to be played).

If not, we’ll have a couple of announcements tomorrow morning anyway. Enjoy the ride!

The Roots are playing City Stages

Posted on March 18, 2008 | 10 comments

That’s the word according to AllHipHop.com.

Earlier this afternoon the world’s most dangerous site posted the tour schedule for the Philadelphia-based hip-hop ensemble. If the June 13 date is true, this could give us a good idea of the types of acts that are being booked for the world-class music festival‘s 20th anniversary.

The Roots‘ appearance would be in part to promote their new album, Rising Down, scheduled for an April 29 release. Incidentally, the April date is also the anniversary of the LA riots sparked by the acquittal of the officers who beat Rodney King.

UPDATE – 3.29.2008: Just found out that Old Crow Medicine Show’s playing City Stages on June 13. (read more)
