As promised, some more locally driven content, though much earlier than I anticipated.
A call for volunteers from Artwalk
The first item on the list is the cause of it. Created from an e-mail received from the folks at Artwalk:
I know it’s short notice, but they’d would love to see you… Tonight!! They’re having a gathering at SpeakEasy on 3rd Street North (1920 3rd Avenue North) to sign up volunteers for Artwalk weekend. If you stop by and can find a time that you can commit to help, you can have a drink on Artwalk! Other perks are a free t-shirt and pass to the Artwalk After-Party on Saturday, Sept. 9 on the roof of The Avenues (2316-18 1st Avenue North).
Can’t make it tonight?? They could still use your help. Just contact Robin Spooner at [email protected]. There is something for everyone to do between 8 am Friday Sept. 8 and midnight Saturday, Sept. 9. They need physical labor, outgoing personalities, general gophers… believe me there is something for everyone. So if you’re in town and you are civic-minded, go help out one of the best events in downtown Birmingham!
The meeting starts at 6 p.m., so there’s still time to pass the word along to your friends and pass the link on for others to learn about it. I will not be able to attend because of rehab, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to do something before it’s all over.

This morning’s post… and some exciting news!
Published by Andre on August 17, 2006I was originally planning to let this morning’s post be the only word from me today. I appreciate those that have already commented and look forward to more comments and opinions. Click on the link if you have not already viewed the post. I’m hoping that the conversations sparked by the post may lead to some concrete solutions or at the very least, acknowledgment of the issue. 3choBoomer was right in that I don’t take the gloves off very often, but I’m starting to realize that it needs to be done by someone. You can’t sit around and wait for the solution to fall into your lap.
But the idea of sitting on two pieces of information for another day would have been just way too difficult. So, two things that should make regular visitors happy… I hope
