Friends, it’s been a long 3 3/4 years of bi-weekly publishing, a pretty hectic whirlwind of news gathering, production, editing, delivery and sales.
Don’t worry, The Murfreesboro Pulse is not going anywhere, but we’ve decided to change with the times and take a more web-based approach to delivering the news.
Starting this month, we will begin publishing the printed piece monthly.
As part of this transition, boropulse.com will be undergoing some renovations in the coming weeks. So check your local Pulse often, and if it’s not complete, bear with us, soon the website will contain all of the reviews on restaurants, music, movies and more that we’ve compiled over the past few years.
While this move will save some ink and paper (we’re saving the planet, man! Go green . . .
So this change is not at all a sign that the company is doing poorly. We are still your local source for art, entertainment and culture news, and a great tool for businesses to get their messages out.
Though my sales skills may be slipping. I’ve been trying to sell Junior an ad, and he’s proving to be a tough sell. “We’ll brand Bookie Boo Enterprises as the leading manufacturer of drool in the Mid-State Region,” I tell him. But he’s a tough negotiator, and he keeps trying to talk me down. Maybe if I offered some more impressive entertainment for him sometimes, he’d be more inclined to advertise with me. The old peek-a-boo gets a chuckle every now and then, but I think he feels it’s somewhat condescending. “Oh great and powerful wizard,” he probably thinks. “You disappear behind something, then pop out and talk some nonsense; not impressive! ” You can check out his new website too, and keep up with all the Bracken Jr. news at myspace.com/brackenmayojr.
The Mars Volta is coming to Nashville this month and Mr. and Mrs. Mayo will be in attendance. The Volta’s probably the top band of the decade (we can give the ’90s to Tool and say it can’t repeat as champions).
A happy birthday to Mr. Janard Cross, a fellow Sept. 23, 1981, man. Thanks for inviting me out to be a part of your concert tele-bration. Look for more on that event in the next Pulse.
For all those hung up in “The Great Recession”: come on! Let’s get out of this. Produce something useful, support your local businesses, and we’ll be fine. Very important-a decrease in spending is the cause of a recession, not a symptom.
