– Gotta admit when I was wrong. Yesterday I went on a tirade against Comcast, angry that my connection speed was slower than that of a 14.4 modem. But, later in the day, I pulled the cable out of my wireless router and plugged it directly into my laptop… and suddenly I had my speedy connection back. The wireless router just needed to be rebooted. So it wasn’t Comcast’s fault after all. Apologies to Comcast for the misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
– Received an e-mail this morning about two Downtown events happening this Friday, June 22. The first is the Stax 50th Anniversary concert at The Orpheum, a fundraiser for the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Chuck D and Randy Jackson will host, and other acts will include Booker T and the MGs, Isaac Hayes, William Bell and some newly-signed acts. Here’s a link to more info from Paste Magazine.<\/a> Tickets range from $25 to $1,002, depending on how close you want to get to the celebrities.<\/p>\n – Also on Friday night, Shelton Clothiers<\/a> will have a second anniversary celebration from 5 to 9. The e-mail didn’t say, but that likely means free appetizers and wine. You know, this past weekend I went to the mall to shop for summer shirts, and today it occurred to me, “Why haven’t I been to Shelton?” They’re known for their suits, but they also have a good selection of comfortable, casual shirts. I’ll have to remember to make it down there this week.<\/p>\n Shelton sells men’s clothing only, but ladies, you can walk a block to the Peabody Place Mall, where Coco & Lilly has a wide variety of tube tops for you to purchase. Or, you can visit the Tube Top Boutique<\/a> online to do some shopping.<\/p>\n – The CA has an update<\/a> to the Malco controversy, where a projectionist was suspended for writing a negative review about the new Fantastic Four movie. He’s back on the job, but has put in his two weeks’ notice, feeling that the employer\/employee relationship has been damaged. Malco projectionists will now be required to sign confidentiality agreements saying they will not write about movies that they project during advance showings.<\/p>\n Whew! Lots of news today. Thanks to Otto<\/a> who sent me some good suggestions on Google optimization in response to the previous post – I’m going to try those out this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" – Gotta admit when I was wrong.
