A small news item announcing the immediate shutdown of New Albany's riverfront amphitheatre for the remainder of 2005 owing to budgetary constraints ran in Saturday's Tribune, and Randy Smith also made mention of it in Volunteer Hoosier.
Down By the Riverside
Bob Trinkle, director of the venue ... has invited residents to join a planning committee meeting on Sept. 11 to discuss plans for the 2006 season. He invites "anyone from the public sector or business community who has ideas for entertainment opportunities" to attend the 90-minute session.
Regular readers know that we've been boisterously critical of Trinkle's stewardship of the riverfront facility.
Beyond that, what do you think?
And what are your ideas?
Do you plan on attending the September 11 meeting?
We'll be on holiday, and cannot, but if any reader makes the meeting, please send a report to bluegill for posting here.
What is up with all the blog spam?
ReplyDeleteEd, this is from the blogger.com info pages:
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever received a comment that looked like an advertisement or a random link to an unrelated site, then you've encountered comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software which can't pass the word verification, so enabling this option is a good way to prevent many such unwanted comments.
What is the word verification option?
The "word verification" option can be found on the Settings | Comments tab for your blog.
If you choose "yes" for this setting, then people leaving comments on your blog will be required to complete a word verification step, similar to the one presented when you create a blog.
I'm hesitant to enable the word verification option, but may have to if the spam flow increases.
Still holding out for the Uriah Heep reunion tour. Hopefully Ken Hensley still knows what a Hammond B3 looks like.
ReplyDeleteJokes aside this is probably the only time I will agree with Tim, although it is Bloomington with a G. We should get an assist from local journeyman base guitarist Bob Rutherford for the Dallas Moore Band to hold a free New Orleans relief show at the Trinkle Dome. It would pack the riverfront.
Doubtful...
