I Don’t Understand the Media

It seems like Flag and Banner’s sales will be clipping along just fine and then the news media will start reporting negatively about the economy and BOOM sales drop off. Nobody can ruin the economy or stir up the hate groups faster than mainstream media. I hope they don’t start negging everybody out before Christmas.

I am not always perfect on my facts but this is close; annual overall sales for USA is up 7% but it slid back to 4% in the last few months and Arkansas’s sales are still up 7%. So relax people and quit watching sensational news programs. It is not “real” news. Remember the Iraq war they shoved down our throats?
Anybody with a brain, that tried to know the truth, knew that it was not Iraq that attacked us, it was Afghanistan. We live in the information age, don’t be lazy, and find out the truth.

Come see two local bands at the coolest place in Little Rock and support a great cause “The Dreamland Ballroom”. Friday night March 13th, Eclipse Glasses and Velvet Kente will perform in formerly Doc’s Pool Hall, on the first floor of Arkansas Flag and Banner building, 9th and State Streets (entrance on State). Show at 9:00, $5 admission.
What is Dreamland? The Dreamland Ballroom is on the third floor of the Arkansas Flag and Banner building. It was built in 1916 by a New Orleans, black business fraternity, Knights and Daughter of Tabor. Their mission was to provide burial insurance and care for widows and orphans.
The Dreamland was used as a meeting hall for this organization but it also lays claim to some of the best touring acts in America during the 1920′s – 40′s. The Dreamland was the smallest theatre on the “Chitlin Circuit”. The Chitlin Circuit refers to the route driven by the black bands while touring. They usually drove from New Orleans to Little Rock, Memphis, St Louis, and Chicago playing in each city.
Some of the acts that performed at the Dreamland are Count Bassie, Cab Callaway, BB King, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Red Fox, Earl Hines, Jackie Gleason, Ray Charles just to name a few. See more about the Dreamland on it’s website http://www.dreamlandballroom.com/ and read articles that have been published about the Dreamland here
This benefit is to raise awareness and bring dollars towards its restoration. Dreamland Ballroom is a gem in our City’s crown.
