Local Notes

Broken arm

They came, they cheered, and apparently, they spent their last five bucks before driving home. On our way to work this morning, we noticed a broken gate arm at one of the WAC parking lot exits. (Flickr)

Following the recent controversial resignation of Fayetteville Public Library Executive Director Shawna Thorup, a second administrator quit last week after 14 years of service. Administrative Director Cathy Rew told the NWA Times her early retirement is a result of what she says was an “injustice” in Thorup’s treatment. (NWAOnline)

Happy Birthday!

Monday To-do

As far as we know, tonight’s show at Smoke & Barrel is still a go. However, after checking the scheduled bands’ Facebook pages, we’re a little concerned. NY-based Summer People list tonight’s show as being in Fayetteville, Ak (Alaska) and Cleveland’s HotChaCha posted something about playing in “laffayete” this evening. Here’s hoping they make it to Arkansas.

Kidding, of course. They’re common mistakes. That’s why we made this shirt.

According to the folks at Smoke & Barrel, this show has been moved to tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011.

The rest of tonight’s calendar is pretty slim, but hey, it’s a holiday.

Enjoy the day off if you’ve got it.
