The Magic City Art Connection has been named one of the “top 20 events to attend in April 2008”, by the Southeast Tourism Society. The weekend art event, which turns 25 this year, attracts artists from all over the country and is always fun. But it’s always nice when someone over in Atlanta looks our way.

FYI for the Birmingham folks
All of the Jefferson County libraries are closed today, for inventory. They will be open tomorrow though.
I’m over there too
For the month of December, I’ll also be posting over at The Bham Terminal. It’s a hyper-local site that’s gaining steam here in Birmingham, AL and across the Southeastern U.S.
It looks like my bookish banter will fall in the Timetable section. I haven’t decided if I’ll cross-post or what. We’ll just have to see how it goes.
So check it out, before I do something wrong and cause that cool site to crash (though I’ll try not too)! There’s a lot of good info to crawl through for folks who live around these here parts.
Book Review Podcasts
The Birmingham Public Library has posted a stocking full of podcasts. They feature local librarians’ reviews and recommendations for gift-worthy reads this season. Looks like they’re using PodBean and it loads verrrry fast! So it’s no hassle to cruise them all rather quickly. Very cool!
I’m going to have to check out Yvonne Crumpler’s take on Wayne Flynt’s book to see if we agree. And then check back later to see what else she recommends.
