Kim, 10-13: open Bars now that it has content, with the C-Boogs story as the lead. Article 01 is bars-road-to-beats-and-bars.html; the old lead, “Impromptu Mic Moments,” moved to 02 (unwritten). Bars is live in every menu and on Contents (Department 02); bars.html came off the not-deployed list.
Not deployed yet. artists.html and performance-media.html are still on the not-deployed list, so their public links were removed from this page (dev links stay in the note below). The earlier “Artist Stories” card was folded into the lead story.

Open (see RECONCILIATION_ISSUES.md):

Bars

Open mic moments, artist stories, and the bars that got the whole yard rocking.

At Beats & Bars Barbecue, we don’t make a habit of announcing who’s going to grab the mic. Not because we don’t know who might show up, but because we don’t believe every performance needs to be planned, promoted, or packaged.

We believe in Vibes Over Everything.

You Never Know Who’s Gonna Grab the Mic

There’s something about a good beat that makes an eMCee forget whatever else they were doing.
