Welcome to the reviving of the blog!

Well, it's a new semester here at "The Fork", and after some debating, we have decided to make the blog more, well, formal, I guess you could say. From now on, every day will have a new post by a different student, and I, Jessica, am the Monday Blog Reporter. This week's topic is just a bunch of random stuff I think needs to be addressed and advertised. Most likely as the days and weeks go on, you can expect me to have weekly events posted. They will range from things happening at school to things happening in the community.

I definitely plan on making some reviews on local music, because that is something I believe needs to have attention.

Ok, now on with the post.

Things going on this week at The Fork:

Monday: Today the students get their xbox 360 raffle tickets. If you would like to be in the runnings to get one, be sure to have two bucks handy. Most of the students are selling them, so just ask!

Wednesday: The legendary Harlem Globetrotters are coming to our school Wednesday morning for a game and some awesome stunts. Admission is five dollars. I know it's a little pricey, but it really is a great experience, and we want to make sure the Globetrotters have a huge welcome, so be sure to go. You won't regret it.

Friday: It's the day some of the students have been waiting for, and some of them are dreading it. Report cards go out Friday.

Things going on in the community:

Birmingham:

Thursday, January 12th, Locust Fork's very own Danger! (http://www.myspace.com/dangerashbury) will be playing at Cave9 (http://www.cave9.com) with The Judy Garland Death Squad. Admission is five dollars and the doors open at 6:30. For directions visit Cave9's website.

Danger! is a local rock band, and all of their members have attended orare currently attending Locust Fork High school. They are a very talented band, and they deserve a lot of support. To hear songs from their new ep, Danger AShbury, check out their myspace mentioned above.

Music of the week:

Bloc Party: (http://blocparty.com) An Indie band from England, Bloc Party is an energetic and catchy band that is sure to appease your appetite for new music. Check them out and buy their newest album, Silent Alarm.

I'm sure I'll be updating this with more events, but for now I hope you enjoy!
