Good morning everybody:
I’d like to remind you about the Happy Hour for a Cause that we’re doing this evening at WorkPlay to collect donations for those still affected by Hurricane Katrina one year later. Please click on the badge to your left to learn more about the event. We’ll be starting at 5 p.m. at WorkPlay Bar. A list of items needed will be at the end of the post. I’d like to ask those bloggers that have time today to repost this information on their sites. I would greatly appreciate it.
I’m also happy to announce that anyone that brings a donation of any kind to the event tonight will now have a chance to win a VIP package from Artwalk, taking place next weekend, September 8 & 9 in the loft and design districts downtown. Here’s what the package includes:
- 2 T-shirt coupons
- 2 Koozie coupons
- 2 Passes to the After Party – September 9, 6 – 10 p.m., on the roof of The Avenues
- $25 Donor Dollars – to be used like cash towards the purchase of artwork at Artwalk 2006
We may be announcing another door prize later on this morning courtesy of a certain local film festival. I’d like to thank both of these organizations for their support with this. It means more than you will ever know.
*Sidewalk has donated a pair of weekend passes and two vintage Sidewalk t-shirts to be given away as well!
Please follow the jump to see the needs list, or we’ll see you tonight hopefully:

Guard cats need a home
No, not my cats, though they’ve been getting quite upset recently about the lack of attention given to them on the blog. That’s when I remind them that they’re almost never mentioned on the blog. They calm down… for a second.
Anyway, Martin and Lewis, the keepers of all things good at Ruffner Mountain Nature Center, are themselves in need of a good new home. Ruffner’s executive director, Kathy Stiles Freeland, would prefer that the felines get to go to the same home if at all possible. For additional information, click here to view a PDF of the essential information, including pictures of both guys. If you’d like to skip the flyer, contact Ruffner Mountain at 833-8264 or contact Kathy directly via e-mail.
Calling all volunteers…
Artwalk is still seeking volunteers for the weekend of September 8 & 9. They need people to serve as artist hospitality, providers of information, and manpower for trolley stop area, performance areas, setup, etc. Please e-mail Robin Spooner and let her know if you are interested in helping out with this incredible event in our City Center.
Ruben & Audiostate 55 in the News
This morning’s Birmingham News includes a story about the Audiostate 55 studios, providing additional information about the programs that will be offered mentioned in yesterday’s post. The more people that learn about it, the better it will be for the community in general.
