Mike Zito - Nathan Jay Moody

Don't give Grainey's a credit card.
However you might want to make plans to see Mike Zito review at Tom Graineys Monday night. As much as it pains me to send people to a bar that works so hard to rip people off, Mike Zito is a one of a kind act. With the Quarter Tons opening up, it is simply a must see show.

Hoochie’s to Memphis.

hoochie memphis web.jpgBoise's own Hoochie Coochie Men have been selected by the Boise Blues Society to “represent” in Memphis. Coming after the strong showing by Lori B! and the Boys. The Memphis crowd will be expecting something good from Little ol’ Boise. Well the well get it with the HC’s. The powerful vocals, tight harmonies, boogie woogie guitar and piano, sax. This is the real deal. There will be a giant fun(d)raiser at the Rose Rose (see below). This just in Joe Brown will be dealing Black Jack!!!!hoochie memphis.jpg On a slightly different note, now is the time to give back to a bunch of guys who have given till it hurts. Over the years the Hoochie Coochie Men have played HUNDREDS of benefits. From injured waitresses to the foothills projects, these guys have played their hearts out. Can’t be many folks who read this crazy blog that haven’t been the recipient of these gentlemen's help. Boisee Boy certainly included. Now we have a chance to give some back. Give a prize, show up to the benefit. Hand Ken a dollar or two-whatever. Let’s give Boise’s best Blues band a shot at the big time. No one group has earned it more.

Terrapin-Blues-tonight

Greetings BBS Members: If you are going down to the Terrapin tonight and you have not received your new membership card if you recently renewed do not worry. Terrapin will have a list of current BBS members on hand to check against so you can obtain your drink coupons.

Overland+Cactus=End Zone

Interesting:If you type in The Cactus Bar and the “under the exp. Bartender Wanted sign” Overland Bar, Citysearch recommends the End Zone.

Terrapin-Blues

Here is a fun one from the Terrapin Station

I am just shooting you this email in hopes you could tell your Blues Society folks about the special show we are doing this Saturday night. We have Scott Wallenburg with the Blues Addicts as well as Nick's (Red Hot & Blues) new band Inanna's Temple. To help get the support in for them we are running a Blues Society special. Blues Society members identify themselves at the door to Eric and he will give them 2 free drink coupons; 1 valid for Saturday night & 1 valid for Sunday afternoon during the Jam Session. The cover is only $3.00 at the door for 2 great bands.

Thanks so much!

The futures in the Crystal Ballroom.

Rumors confirmed and otherwise have the Bouquet Boys giving up the once lucrative Crystal Ballroom contract. Why?

Will admit to predicting trouble in Bouquet land before only to see them survive. So I won’t speculate this time.

As for the historically beautiful Crystal? Insiders see a “lively” future.

Oly no More

It was just a tiny bar off of Grove. I was only there once. Didn't find it exactly "straight friendly." I read someplace that gay bars are slowly disappearing as the world becomes more diverse and accepting. Gotta be a good thing, but not for the old Oly Bar.web-0042.jpg

China Blue-Justice?

Ted “the gambler” Challenger's legal troubles have become far less troublesome. Several reliable sources report that the felony charges have been reduced to two counts of misdemeanor serving a minor. Guess well paid lawyers and friends make a difference.063793 3014515 .JPG.jpg

Iphone-Should you?

After months of phone envy, denial, thought, and just Irish frugality the loss of my old Samsung on a photo safari last week meant it was time of look at a new phone. Since I biologically wasn’t equipped for the IBoob I took a look at the Iphone. Well I bought and I love it. How cool is it to be able to go to my www.AmericanPhotoSource.com site and show a prospect my whole gallery. As a phone it’s great, the voice mail feature is so neat, like e-mail, you can pick and chose what order you listen to the messages in. However the best part may be the touch screen key broad. Any regular reader of this page knows that typing is not my biggest talent!!! I have been very challenged by IM, text messaging and the like. Now with the iphone it is not so hard. Typing on the screen is quick and intuitive. So, Iphone, maybe you should too.

Taste of Memphis-a no photo review

Taste of Memphis is well a “taste of Memphis.”
After a couple of lunches, I love this place. In the much missed Villano’s location on Idaho, Taste of Memphis is bright and lively. Step to the counter and order from a menu straight off Beale street. Chicken, pulled pork and prefect ribs. The sides, think green beans, cole slaw, candied yams, even a green salad. Of course the deserts have a southern flavor. Carrot cake and fudgey brownies grace the sweets case by the cash register. Add sweet tea and you may want to look over your shoulder to see if Elvis is in the building. Come on down and taste fine southern cookin’.
