Some random notes …
• Our very own Spring Club CrawlTM is set for Saturday, April 19. If you’re thinking of going–and if you’re even remotely interested in local music, you should go–I recommend getting your all-admission wristband before Sunday, April 6. On or before that date, the wristbands cost a mere $5 at any Tucson Bookmans location. From Monday, April 7, on, they’ll cost the usual $8, and on the day of the Crawl itself, they’ll be $10.
Head over to clubcrawl.net for the latest schedule of bands, venue maps and all sorts of other useful information!
• If you’re thinking of taking the time to write in to share an opinion, please, do yourself a favor, and make sure that you’re writing in to the correct publication. I recently received a pleasant e-mail from a reader complaining that she didn’t like a new comic strip; the strip in question is published in the Arizona Daily Star, not in the Tucson Weekly. Several days later, I received a postcard bitching us out for a review of a movie that we hadn’t yet reviewed.
• Finally, if you have a free minute or two, I highly recommend checking out TucsonWeeklyTV, our brand-new and growing YouTube channel. Senior writer Jim Nintzel is spearheading our move into the video realm, and thanks to his efforts, you can find an ever-growing number of short news reports on the channel. Check it out; you can also find all of the TucsonWeeklyTV reports, along with all sorts of other good stuff, at blog.tucsonweekly.com.
