Studio 60

studio_60.jpg So, a blog written by me, and read by you and if we are lucky a thousand other people any given month is not likely to have much influence. That said, ya’ gotta do what you can.

Watch Studio 60! If anyone asks you tell them you watch it! Especially if they call you on the phone or ask you to fill out a diary. It’s what TV use to be. Sharp, quick witted, funny and powerful. Think Mary Tyler Moore, All in the Family, Cosby. Yes!, it’s that good. It is set on the set of a Saturday Night Live type show. The all-star cast of Studio 60 spin around each other, their audience, network execs, and guests stars like drunken ballet dancers doing the Nutcracker.

I love it, you will to if you give it a try.

Don’t let Studio 60 be another of those “Critics love it,” shows that fade away. WATCH IT! Thanks

Luck runs out

The second ever post to boisee was about the Lucky 13. --Feeling Lucky -- Now it looks like the northend staple-staple will be turning off the pizza ovens.

The 13 has been around a long time. It was one of the first restaurants to figure out the whole patio scene. The bad news? Lucky 13 is apparently a victim of the northend's success. Negotiations with the landlord have failed. There may be a new 13 in the Harris Ranch complex, but expect the old location to close soon. Bummer.

Frim Fram

The ever evolving Frim Fram is better than ever. As a trio, Jonah, Cody and Andrew are the prefect complement to Jazzy food and drink of the Milky Way on Tuesday nights. Add drummer Tom for a bit more beat and Pengillys sways on Thursdays. As live music gets harder and harder to find, I’m glad these guys are still at it.

Well Said B!

Just got this e-mail from Diva Lori B! Thomas. . . Think I will pass it along! Hello everyone!!!!!!!! Well, you've been asking here we are!! EXCEPT, THIS IS A SPECIAL ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's the info:

Sunday, October 15, 2006, at the Rose Room, Lori B! and The Boys will be competing against another Boise band and the winner of the two will get to go to Memphis to represent Boise in the International Blues Competition. If we win here, we are off to Memphis!!!!!!!!!!

It is the Boise Blues Society's annual membership meeting. It begins at 4:00 p.m., bring a side dish as it is a potluck. If you are not a BBS member, PLEASE come and join. Not only is a great organization to be in, the people are great too, especially if you are a music lover. The Blues Society has been working hard these last couple of years to get more major blues acts in Boise, we have Blues Jams twice a month at the Reef and are looking at other venues to broaden the places we have jams, we started Blues in The School program and are going into the schools and finding some great blues talent out there, and the list goes on! In order to hear our band and to be able to vote for our band to go to Memphis, you have to be a Blues Society member as the Blues Society is sponsoring the winning band. Makes sense right? :-) It is $15.00 single, $20.00 family for one year. I am telling you, it is worth it. Plus, you get to hear Lori B! and The Boys, and hopefully we will win the competition and head to Memphis to represent the awesome people of Boise and Blues in Boise.

We are working on bringing in a Blues Act which will begin playing at 7:00 p.m. The doors will open to the general public for that at 6:45. Our band will go on at 5:00 and the competing band at 5:45.

So, pass this on to all your friends!!!!

Become a Blues Society member, bring a side dish, have great food, full bar, meet great people, hear awesome music and you can bring your family too, unless you want to find babysitter. Up to you! :-)

Hope to see you all Sunday, October 15th, 4:00 p.m. at the Rose Room, downtown Boise for BLUES FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and on a side note away from all the above, Lori B! and The Boys thank all of you who have come to hear us over the years and for your support and love. WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori B!

Ever Changing Boise

The ebb and flow of Boise is amazing. Newcomers have only seen the incredible growth and many want to close the gate behind them. However, isn’t the increase in opportunities that has made Boise such a fantastic city?

Our fair city should not try to stop new people from coming here, we should strive to maintain the lifestyle that makes Boise unique. furniturepacking-web.jpg

Old, not me!

25 Signs That, Sadly, You've Grown Up
Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. You hear your favorite song on an elevator. You watch the Weather Channel. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff". You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again." 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save Your sorry old ass.
