A legend and his legendary guitar.
B.B. King is coming to the WAC. Maybe not big news for you large market concert folks but I’m excited. I last saw him in 1991 in Seville, Spain at the Guitar Legends concert series. He, Bo Diddley, & Robert Cray all jammed at the end. Near the top for me, concert-wise.

Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan, however, is standing by the plan that the city is forming with the university.
A group called The American Family Association sent a letter to Mayor Jordan in Fayetteville denouncing the city’s support of an upcoming gay pride parade. The parade also made news for its 10 year old Grand Marshal. The boy, Will Phillips of West Fork made national headlines last year for refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance because he feels that not everyone in this country is treated equally.

Babes on Bikes.
Fayetteville will be kicking off a new motorcycle rally next week. Bikes Babes & Bling is designed to attract female cycle aficionados and it will do so with a red, white, & blue bang.
Have a great weekend, friends. Stay cool!
