There's not much to be said about today. The coffee is flowing but the work is not. The office is unnaturally quiet for some reason. It's overcast yet sunny so of course the humidity level has skyrocketed into the quadruple digits. And it's only the beginning of the afternoon. But Old City Live is tonight giving us something to look forward to. Make sure to check us out, we'll be there. Until then, here are the Mosts and the Events.

Just another example of an amazing local business. It kinda makes you want to read.....
The cover story in the current issue of Publisher's Weekly is about the low morale and general despair and dissatisfaction among those in the book trade. Carpe Librum Booksellers, tucked just off Kingston Pike in Bearden, seems not to subscribe.
The Square Room is accepting applications for its inaugural Sound Off competition, in which local bands will be pitted against each other for a prize package that will include studio time, packaging and pressing of a CD EP, guaranteed radio airplay, and a headlining show at the Market Square club. The contest starts in October and will run one Wednesday a month for five months, with a final showdown in March.
This year, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park celebrates its 75th anniversary, and it seems an appropriate time to remember the cadre of Knoxvillians who spearheaded the effort. Several of their names are on mountains. And one name is only on a photographic supply shop on Middlebrook Pike.

It is weird that this story makes me want scrambled eggs?
Chad Hellwinckel is confident he can win over most any one who objects to the legalization of hens within city limits--if they'll give him time to explain.
We've had a lot of Republican politicians praying on the street corners in recent years, modern-day Pharisees who take to the pulpits in election years to decry the moral decay in the country and to condemn anyone who disagrees with them on social issues. Too many of them are hanging out in that whited sepulcher where our freedoms go to die, otherwise known as the U.S. Capitol.

Paul Thorn with Chuck Norris at Old City Live in the Old City Courtyard at 7 p.m.
