Those of you preparing to TiVo (or stay awake for) tonight’s performance on The Late Show with David Letterman by local band Wild Sweet Orange, you’ve got to wait just a little longer. Word’s come in that the performance will now take place this Friday.
There’s also word that there will be a release party for the band’s new CD We Have Cause to Be Uneasy
We’d be there ourselves but we’ll be doing something else – and we’ll be announcing that tomorrow morning…

This is your friendly neighborhood reminder that tomorrow evening is our monthly Terminally Happy Hour at The Bottletree! We sat around trying to figure out how to get a few more folks to come on out and join the conversation (especially since there is a Sex and the City preview party tomorrow evening as well courtesy of My Scoop).
So we figured “Why not give away two (2) pairs of weekend passes to City Stages 20?”, and that’s what we’re going to do!

Syphilis as a major issue has been affecting Jefferson County since 2002. In 2006, there were 238 reported cases in Jefferson County alone. At first, you could pin point the specific areas in Jefferson County that were affected, but now it’s county wide. Alabama is currently ranked fifth in the nation with cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia. Jefferson County has the tenth highest number of recorded cases of syphilis in the country.

It seems that unless the offices of governor or president are on the ballot, most people tend to stay home on Primary Day. Eight Democratic groups in the greater Birmingham metro area are hoping to make people aware of the options that will be on the ballot come June 3 and to convince them to come out and vote, most notably for them in the race for the Senate seat currently occupied by Jeff Sessions. They will be hosting a Democratic Candidate Primary Forum at the Homewood Library next Tuesday, May 20 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
We’ll be updating the destinations calendar later on today with more details (though that link to the OTM Democrats should provide enough info to get you started).
The Southern Environmental Center at Birmingham Southern College is starting to celebrate its 10th anniversary this month with its first ever online auction. Summer Splash currently has 19 items available for visitors to bid on with all proceeds going to support the organizations educational efforts. We’re pretty sure they’d appreciate you visiting (and bidding) early and often. But no worries, you can visit and bid until May 21 and there’s always EcoFest 10 in October…
The hopes and dreams for Birmingham’s western area have been front and center in recent months, including plans to revitalize the Five Points West commercial district with the proposed redevelopment of Fair Park and the opening of new businesses nearby (e.g., the city’s newest Applebee’s restaurant).
The Five Points West Business Association has been reactivated by city councilor Steven Hoyt to help unify the voice of the business community through the planned changes. Tonight he, Main Street Birmingham and Regions Bank are hosting their membership reception and organizational meeting at the BPL’s Five Points West branch beginning at 7 p.m. They’ll go over future plans for the area and ways that they can help themselves, including cooperative marketing. We look forward to seeing what happens next…
