Tips for Week of February 3, 2005


THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:

  • Are you watching American Idol? If so, you might see a familiar face: Ryan Patrick Parker, a 1994 graduate of Lee High School's Vocal Magnet Program. He's one of those going to Hollywood!

  • If you'd like to go to the Huntsville Symphony's Mainly Mozart concert this weekend, just call the HSO office at 256.539.4818 and mention About.com to get half price tickets.

  • Speaking of the Symphony: there are a limited number of $395 Golden Circle tickets and $200 seats available in the prime area of section A for the Feb. 26th Yo Yo Ma concert. The rest of the Concert Hall has been sold out since last November. 

  • Shopper's alert: There's a new Tuesday Morning store at Crossroads Mall in Albertville that just opened this week. 

  • The Year of Alabama Food web site features recipes, a list of food festivals, restaurants and profiles of Alabama Tourism's top culinary ambassadors. The Alabama Association of Convention & Visitor Bureaus and the state tourism agency are sponsoring a statewide chef cook-off to produce The Official State Dish. Deadline for receiving recipes is March 2005. Regional competitions will be held in May in Huntsville, Birmingham, Auburn and Fairhope.
