Don’t worry, Wade. I’ve got your back if things go bad with that girl, Tristan.
And by “got your back,” I mean I’ll hold your drink for you.

That laptop rule is pretty sweet. Can’t wait to “find” a new computer!

Official response from a City Stages official about the Backpacks vs. Laptops issue…

*******
“we will make an exception to the backpack rule as follows:
if you are bringing a laptop in a normal, laptop bag with none of the
contraband items listed on the site, you may enter.
I will share this with security people tomorrow at the meeting, but
keep in mind it is a last-minute change, so ask people to be patient
and understanding, especially on friday.”
*******

Their website should be updated soon to reflect this policy

Sure, “Ted,” just buy me a ticket and a drink, big boy. But be gentle — I know how you like it rough.

I’m not anonymous. My name is Ted Barbour and if you’ll meet me at the fountain Saturday at 2pm, I’ll teach you.

What have I done to make Birmingham a better place? Hmm, I leave sad anonymous comments on blogs.

No, wait, that’s you.

Sorry, dude. I wish I could be more like you. Teach me, teach me!!

Yea, if only everyone were as smart as you, dude.

When’s the last time you did anything to make Birmingham a better place to live, you little whiner.

Good point about the no backpack rule and laptops. Good thing my wife has a Palm TX with WiFi.

I saw these — my favorite thing was that most of the bids were for lifetime passes. Won’t they be thrilled when lifetime means, like, two more years. I think I saw this same deal at Standard Furniture.

Backpacks no, diaper bags yes. That’s not beer officer, it’s formula : )

What’s not clear is if City Stages wants to succeed in the long run.

You can still go to the Sound Check stage party and bid on a chance to introduce an act or golf cart keys. If you don’t spend lots of money on the auction items and event tickets, we’ll know you really hate the festival.

Yep, I totally missed this. Shoot — I really want to see City Stages succeed in the long run. It’s good for Birmingham.
