Birmingham’s High Note Night Club closes with killer performance by Stacked Like Pancakes
The High Note is a long time fixture in the Birmingham underground music scene. The club has hosted every genre of music from rap battles, indie concerts, pageants for the LGBTQ community, Hip Hop, Rock-n-Roll and jazz.
Last night the night club hosted its final concert before closing its doors forever. True to the High Note brand, they invited Baltimore based band, Stacked Like Pancakes. Stacked Like Pancakes is currently playing clubs in the southeast before they hit the road as part of the Vans “Warped Tour” in July. In their first tour stop in the Magic City, Birmingham’s favorite entertainment blogger was on hand to catch history in the making.
The 7 piece ensemble brought a mixture of funk, rock-n-roll and a lil bit of pop. It’s truly good old-fashion party music. The band consists of Kellen McKay (lead vocals) x Zach Foote (bass-trombone) x Michael Busch (lead guitar) x Andy Dawson (trombone) x Kevin Goren (drums) and Will Lopez (bass guitar).
Performing their classic hits “Sharks in the Sky” and “Shit- Fuck- Dammit - Dammit,” the group gave a highly engaging concert. The entire night, I kept waiting for chart-topping singers Andre 3000 x Janelle Monae or even Adam Levine to make a surprise cameo appearance to close out the killer night.
The band’s fanbase is steadily growing as concert dates are increasing. For more information about Stacked Like Pancakes, please visit their website stackedlikepancakes.com/

Constructivist theory
Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. He suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences. When individuals assimilate, they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework. This may occur when individuals' experiences are aligned with their internal representations of the world, but may also occur as a failure to change a faulty understanding; for example, they may not notice events, may misunderstand input from others, or may decide that an event is a fluke and is therefore unimportant as information about the world. In contrast, when individuals' experiences contradict their internal representations, they may change their perceptions of the experiences to fit their internal representations. According to the theory, accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences. Accommodation can be understood as the mechanism by which failure leads to learning: when we act on the expectation that the world operates in one way and it violates our expectations, we often fail, but by accommodating this new experience and reframing our model of the way the world works, we learn from the experience of failure, or others' failure.
It is important to note that constructivism itself does not suggest one particular pedagogy. In fact, constructivism describes how learning should happen, regardless of whether learners are using their experiences to understand a lecture or attempting to design a model airplane. In both cases, the theory of constructivism suggests that learners construct knowledge. Constructivism as a description of human cognition is often associated with pedagogic approaches that promote learning by doing.

the hills are yellow with mustard grass. it's a reassuring sign that spring has arrived. it's a late start this year and the plants are shorter than usual. but given the drought it's actually amazing we get bloom at all. these plants are quite weedy in appearance, not something you want in your garden. but they do make spectacular stands in the wild with their abundant flowers. these flowers are quite delicate and ephemeral. a light breezy can send petals falling like a million tiny yellow sticky notes. kinda reminds me all those 'important' things we put down on sticky notes, in the end, they seldom matter
Left this margarine tub outside in the lobby with a post-it note that reads, "There is NOTHING wrong with this!" Good to know.
Welcome back ladies! In this theme, you were assigned to become a creature of the night. Let’s take a look at your photos!
*NOTE: I don’t mean to sound harsh but I really do want to help you improve on your photos by saying what needs to be fixed*
RENA:
In this photo, you lost the model in yourself. All I see is a girl posing in a Halloween costume. It’s just there and she should be modeling more.
LAUREN:
This photo has very poor quality. Also, the bushes are overpowering you. You lost most of your limbs in the branches.
BAILEA:
The first thing I notice in this photo is how flat your face looks. You took out the natural shading in your face so you look like your face is as flat as a pancake! Besides that, there is not anything special in this photo. She is just posing in the dark.
NONA:
In this photo, you are only resting on pretty. There is nothing special here. You look like you popped in a pair of vampire teeth and red contacts at a Halloween party. Also, your right hand is placed in a way that looks inappropriate.
SABRINA:
Your makeup looks pretty sloppy near your eyes and you need to practice your smizing a little bit. When you close your lower eyelid, you stretch out your iris, which looks awkward. Try to keep your iris in a normal, circular shape. Also, the photo is not as dark as it should be. It looks like it is daytime in this photo. But I am seeing improvement in your work!
HAZEL:
Oh my gosh you look stunning! Your lips look so much more fierce this way! This is so fierce! The lighting is perfect and there is still enough forest in the photo. You are interacting with the background, which is great. However, you lost your arms in this photo! When you model, you have to make sure that all of your limbs are visible.
SASHA:
This is so fierce! It is very modelesque and your hair looks great! Just practice more with applying makeup because it looks a little bit sloppy and asymmetrical.
IRENE:
I feel like the darkness is overpowering you. I also feel that this photo could look better if you were posing with your back against the wall for a more dramatic feel.
HALEY:
Where is your photo? You never contacted me or anything.
CALLOUT:
1. Sasha.
2. Hazel.
3. Sabrina.
4. Irene.
5. Rena.
6. Bailea.
7. Nona.
Two ladies stand before me but I will only call one more name.
~ Lauren. You are in the bottom two for this theme because your lacked the quality and excitement that they usually have. This photo is dull with poor quality and you are allowing the backdrop to upstage you. In this industry, you need to do anything you can to stand out and make a name for yourself.
~ Haley. You stand in the bottom two for this theme because you did not turn in a photo. I’m not sure if you forgot or anything but you were tagged in this photo and you should have seen it. Your past photos have great quality, but you just blew off this theme.
So who stays in this competition? The girl who takes some of the best photos in this cycle but had one fallback, or the girl who usually turns in photos with great quality but forgets a theme?
The final girl who will move on to the next theme is…
8. Lauren. Your past photos have been so amazing and that is why you are staying. I hope to see more of that spark you usually have. Congratulations, you are still in the running towards becoming Bratz Next Top Model.
Haley, I’m sorry. Good luck with your career and just keep in mind that timeliness is everything.

I was looking at apartments recently and this note was taped to the laundry room door of one of the apartment buildings. "Pat" has an "interesting" idea of "how" to use quotation "marks".
Notes from Day 8 of this:
• I'm not resenting the need to use my camera at least once a day nearly as much as I imagined I would already. It's kind of nice to have a low-key goal. And just one photo isn't so hard to do. Just one. That's all. It's a small ambition, especially compared with the other things that are on my list each day: writing, researching, interviewing, life-planning. It's a task that fits in my hand.
• When only one photo can be the photo of the day, your vision gets a lot clearer. I took seven or eight crow photos today; this is the one I chose to share. It's nice; I was already a ruthless curator, but this makes it even easier to toss what doesn't get that coveted number in its title.
• Watching the small square tiles of this set fill in one by one, never faster? That slows time down a little bit. Not many things can do that for me now. I'm grateful.

Oh wow, look at my totally awesome and concise notes from class today...oh wait, no, that's just a bunch of zombies and flowers. And a little doodle portrait of me saying "I <3 zombies." Yup...
