We’ve got a great “Got Plans?” guest blogger this week

Carla Jean Whitley of Birmingham Magazine has graciously stepped in this week to write up this week’s Got Plans? post as Christina enjoys a week off (though we’re not quite sure where – or even if she’s out of town really).

Let’s see what CJ’s got planned for us this week over on Timetable, shall we?

Take photos of what’s IN

The IN Birmingham campaign’s been making a lot of folks in the area consider just what that means and how to record it. Libby’s been filling us in on what some of the results have been from the nominations that were collected (here’s her current post), now the folks over at a new Birmingham area photoblog are asking folks to submit photos to their site.

And while there are currently several photos in the Magic City Flickr Group as well as our own Terminal Flickr Group, the more places these photos are shared, particularly when associated with this question, the better!

Oh yeah, since you’ve probably read most of the other writeups on the coffee house, we thought you’d enjoy seeing what Samford’s student newspaper had to say about Urban Standard back in May.

Now with new contributors!

If you’ve been following Timetable recently, you may have noticed that posts are going up on a far more frequent basis than before. There are a couple reasons for that, most notably our newest contributors to The Terminal, Libby Sexton & Whitney Sides.

Check out Whitney’s bio over on our staff page; then head on over to Timetable tonight so you could learn some more about tonight’s performance by The Warlocks at Bottletree.

We’ll hopefully have Libby’s bio up soon, though you can go ahead check out her latest post about Birmingham’s options for barbecue.

390 days to go, but it’s got a website

John Elkington‘s name is on the line… at least in Birmingham. The Birmingham News reports that the developer charged with creating Birmingham’s newest entertainment district has pledged that The Forge will be open in 390 days – a self-imposed August 1, 2009 deadline.
