National Book Critics Circle Blogging In

Item: The NY Times reports that the National Book Critics Circle has establsihed a blog, Critical Mass (bookcriticscircle.blogspot.com "where publishing and criticism news, commentary, reviews, tips, and product information" will appear. "The bloggers are professional critics, book review editors and judges of the organization's annual awards." Supposedly their comments will be personal and not those of NBCC. Sounds risky to me. In some other category of arts news, Frank Sinatra Jr., and his 20 piece orchestra will appear at "the Fifth Sorrento Cheese Summer in Little Italy" on May 29th in the Mulberry St. parking lot. One wonders if this is his Frank's fifth appearance in the Mulberry St. parking Lot? (That's between Canel and Hester Streets)
