I probably shouldn’t call attention to this, but the local paper is reporting that Rick “The Coif” Perry has come out advocating that Texas schools teach intelligent design in science class along with evolutionary theory. In The Pink and Pink Dome took note along with and Gibberish who points out some things you can do to get a jump on this nonsense. Please. Tell me we didn’t beat Florida in the race to return to medieval education.
A fire early this morning has done significant damage to KOOP radio, Sweatbox Studios and the rehearsal spaces housed in the building at 5th and San Jacinto. This is a pretty big blow to the local music scene taking out a great community supported radio station, a recording studio with a long history of great recordings and a centrally located rehearsal space for many local bands. Here’s hoping they can all get back up and running. Stay tuned as I’m sure there’ll be benefits to get the whole thing back up and running. Unfortunately, the cause seems to have been “improperly discarded smoking materials”.
Update: K-EYE (*shudder*) has some video.
