So I should just say that Sam’s picks are ready over on Timetable.
Well, they are.
As are Christina’s suggestions for weekend plans…
Her thoughts are over here.

We did promise Art on the Rocks info
Art on the Rocks starts next month at the Birmingham Museum of Art (May 16 to be exact).
So we figured that we’d provide some links, some images, some music and some info to get you feeling anxious for it to finally get here. Head on over to Timetable and check it out.
We hope you like it.

Now you can find out if Cleveland really rocks…
Continental Airlines recently announced that they were starting nonstop service to Cleveland, OH from Birmingham, AL. Well, today’s the official ceremony recognizing the beginning of the service – even though service actually started yesterday. The flights will be operated by ExpressJet flying under the Continental Express flag.
There will be two chances to leave The Magic City daily to check out the Rock & Roll Music Hall of Fame, the Indians and (most importantly for basketball fans) LeBron James and whoever the other team is that’s playing the Cavaliers…
… and we get a chance to win over some more converts.

Looks like we got two right…
City Stages formally announced part of their 2008 lineup via The Birmingham News as a front page article in Sunday’s (today’s) paper. This list includes a couple of big names – like Diana Ross and The Flaming Lips.
Looks like we were correct in identifying two of this year’s acts , The Roots (March 18) and Old Crow Medicine Show (yesterday). The News was able to figure out a couple of them as well (and a lot earlier than we were – see the Old Crow post to find links to those posts).

The Roots are playing City Stages
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)

Help send The Bomb Shelter out in style
We’d hoped to get this up yesterday, but the fun thing about technology is that sometimes it chooses not to work. The Bomb Shelter generously lent us some of the furniture that we used for our anniversary party on Friday. We’d like to make sure that as many people as possible know about (and go to) tonight’s send-off for the local music venue…
Spottiswoode and his Enemies

Spread the word and tell your friends! (and tell them thanks for helping out The Terminal)
