Today’s gotta be quick, deliberate and dirty as I am still recovering from the Phoenix’s Best Music Poll awards last night, too many Appletinis with Shannon Moss and the guys from Dead Season.

Also I’m mourning the loss of Veronica Mars, which apparently is not good enough TV for the CW.

ANYWAY, there’s big multimedia/new media/internets news today: I’m doing my first online chat on Monday. At 12:30 p.m. Monday I’ll be online to answer…well, I don’t know whose questions.

They asked me for a few topics for the chat and here are my suggestions: local hip-hop, graffiti, proms and of course, Bacon. Obviously bacon is something near and dear to my heart, but the others are recent topics that have come up in the blog or column.

Want to mouth off about the talent in the local hip-hop scene? Monday. Want to give your take on graffiti and the new ordinance in South Portland? Monday. Have an amazing (or devastating) prom experience? Monday.

As Jim Rome would say: "Have a take and don’t suck."

ALSO: A few events tonight – Singer/Songwriter Catie Curtis is playing a benefit for Add Verb Productions at the State Street Church tonight. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $12 for students, $15 for the rest.

The Everyday Visuals are playing with Hiss and Chambers over at the Big Easy tonight at 9 p.m. While I do not know much about the indie group out of Boston, Dylan Martin does, so check it out.
Hiss and Chambers is a high-energy, danceable act that has more than a few '80s influences.
They’re on the verge of releasing an EP and tonight’s show would be a good chance to see if it’s something you’ll be purchasing.
