Hello there:
I watched a concert on TV that was an album release party for Justin Timberlake.
Now, I have been a fan in the past. Yes, I did listen to "Justified" and also liked the album "FutureSex/LoveSounds."
It's all not bad for a boy from Shelby Forest, Tennessee.
However, while watching the show, I was only impressed by one song, a song that Mr. Timberlake described as exemplifying "what would happen if The Jackson 5 went to Brazil."
His album and latest comeback is just overhyped, in my opinion (I hope you know that is is ALWAYS just my opinion).
Just because he looks good in a suit, that does not mean he is a musical genius!
Next:
I went to a Health Professions event at Richland College. In summary: the main organizer was late. The whole event was on the disorganized side. Not just due to the lateness, but due to other things.
I had been planning to leave early, but left even earlier than I had intended. To frame it in a quick manner, the disorganization made me sad.
Next, again:
Fierce Panda is a record company. They are going to create a movie about themselves called Endangered: The Story Of Fierce Panda Records. I do not know much about Fierce Panda Records, but I do know they were an early label for Coldplay, and many other acts.
Goodbye. Have a great day & night,
The End.

Hey Kids, Shouldn't You Be Doing Homework? And, Concert Alert!
I was driving yesterday. It was about 6:30 p.m. on the LBJ Freeway (Lyndon B. Johnson--the B is for Baines).
Suddenly I noticed 3 kids, all under the age of 12, waving from a walkway above the traffic.
Nobody else seemed to be waving. For some reason I feel bad when kids wave at cars, and I don't wave back.
I waved. It probably made their night.
They must have come from one of the neighborhoods nearby.
This gave me pause to think, wait! It's not summer! What are they doing just hanging out near LBJ? Shouldn't they be doing homework, or something like that?
Concert Alert! Concert Alert! There is a free concert, Sat. March 23, NEAR First Presbyterian Church (The Stewpot) in Dallas, TX. The concert takes place from 4 pm until 7 pm. The concert will be down the street, at 508 Park Avenue. There is more information on the site for 508 Park Ave.
I am told that Hunter Hendrickson and Holland K. Smith will be there. It should be a blues and country mix.
The Stewpot does a lot of good for the community--countless people have been helped by their services. The newspaper Street Zine, also operates out of The Stewpot's offices. It is sold by the homeless.
Have a fruitful Friday,
Alice

Enlightening Baristas At Starbucks. And To La Toya: Where Will I Get All My Advice Now?
Dear All,
While at Starbucks recently, I overheard a man saying to the female barista while waiting for his drink, "I was in Cancun," then, "in Mexico."
Then he said, "they have Starbucks there, too." The man was probably in his mid-30s, and I think with a shaved head.
Then after brief chit-chat, he said, "Ok, B'bye."
I think he thought he was enlightening the barista. (I was sitting at a table nearby). I don't know the facts, but she did not appear to be dumb.
When I say enlightening her, it is as in: REALLY? Cancun is in MEXICO? And, wow, they have ACTUAL Starbucks locations in other countries?
New Topic: I watched a brief segment of Celebrity Apprentice.
I have never been too into this show.
Except when the actual "The Apprentice" began, I thought it was interesting.
God only knows why I watched Celebrity Apprentice. However, I did see La Toya Jackson, and later pondered, why is La Toya on Celebrity Apprentice? What happened to the psychic hotline?
The End.

Boomboxes Are Back In Style
Dear all,
The other day I saw a man strolling around campus with a boom box in his leather bag. He was actually playing the boom box while he went to class or did something else. He was perhaps in his mid-20s, with a bandana.
I have seen people with personal boomboxes on their bicycles. I have also seen people carrying them on their shoulders.
(This is with all of the TRUE boombox sightings of the 80s not withstanding).
But why he needed the personal music at a college campus was beyond me.
Have a good night!
