It's Friday, March 12th and this is what's happening:
This weekend is the first Cross Pollinate Jackson speaker series, which brings in young intellectuals/artists for a weekend to present a talk on their topic of expertise on Friday night and an artistic program on Saturday night. The first speaker is Shahid Buttar, the executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and spoken word artist.
Shahid will be speaking tonight at 5:30 pm at the Jackson Community Design Center downtown. His talk will be on "Keeping Accountable Those Who Keep Us Safe," an analysis of torture, civil liberties, and respect for the rule of law in a world full of real and perceived risks of terrorism.
Saturday night, Shahid will be performing spoken word back by a band comprised of local electronic musicians and a DJ set by Julian Vu. This event will be at 8pm at North Mid-Town Arts Center, formerly One to One Studios.

*2nd Act: LOS BUDDIES (Jackson Rockers bring it to T-BONES) @ 8 p.m.
Check out the article from the JACKSON FREE PRESS on the Buddies: Melody from (Mechanical) Defeat by Larry Morrisey on February 3, 2010.
Here’s an except from the article: “…Los Buddies has persisted to create a loose but tuneful sound that incorporates the rough edges of early punk and ’60s garage rock with a love of guitar-based pop…” Los Buddies’ “…songs demonstrate the band’s allegiance to the energy of early punk, tempered by an underlying affection for melody. They mix overdriven guitars and aggressive drumming that would not be out of place on an early Replacements record with cleaner elements, including some underlying chiming guitars and “ooh-ooh”-ing back-up vocals.”
The Coffee Shop is now opening Mon-Sat at 7 a.m.
Stop in and pick up a fresh cup of coffee or cold-brew to get your day started!
