It’s been busy around the newsroom, what with storms and general newsy busy-ness, but the Lasso is not yet dead. Here’s your roundup:

• In case you hadn’t caught on, I love cool photos of this town. Here’s a few shots of East Lawrence from writer Bobby Myers’ Tumblr (Hamm’s garbage can, anyone?).

• In case you didn’t know, the main characters from the CW show Supernatural (going into its ninth season!) are from Lawrence. So it makes sense that this petition exists.

• Merchant’s Pub & Plate opened Saturday. Did you go?

• And as far as Lawrence restaurants go, Mrs. Mass went to Yokohama.

• For your artsy side, Lawrence Percolator has a post on an upcoming exhibition opening during September’s Final Friday called High Moon Tide.

• Fashion blog Kansas Couture has been keeping Kansas fashionable for five years.

• In music, I Heart Local Music has a gallery up about Best Coast and Bleached’s and Andrew W.K.’s performances at The Granada.

• Twitter tells me that a new Lawrence arts and entertainment site is on the horizon, based on this tweet from @BARR:

• Twitter also tells me that Lawrence legend Dennis is celebrating the holidays a little early. He’s also featured in the latest edition of Style on the Hill.
