Yeah, it’s looking like it’s going to be one of those weeks. You know, “a chamber of commerce kind of week.” Downtown is looking great, the Festival of the Arts is gearing up and the weather forecast is looking like a winner all week long.

I’m talking with my editor this morning, and the reporter who was supposed to do a story on the festival today is out. Could I get out and do it? It’s a rough assignment, but yeah, I guess I can fit that in (NOTE TO FESTIVAL ORGANIZERS: NOBODY IS ANSWERING YOUR PHONES! PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AND DON”T MAKE ME USE TWITTER!)

Interesting item on tomorrow’s council docket: Brewer Enterprises is asking for, and is getting, an early termination of their lease for the city-owned parking lot immediately east of Ford Center. COTPA is set to take it over. If you’ll recover, The Oklahoman discovered a couple years back that Brewer Enterprises owed thousands of dollars to the city on the lot’s operation – a debt that was then paid after the report came out.

I guess we’ll see cheaper parking across from Ford Center now?

Steve, you’re always free to use my pics on here. It looks way better on your blog than it does on the cell phone I used to take it.

I wish I was outside enjoying Kerr Park rather than stuck inside staring at a computer screen!

By the way, Steve, if I remember correctly, tomorrow is your story about the answers you got on your tough questions regarding Bricktown. I am certainly looking forward to that!

Yes, the column is written and it’s running tomorrow.
