A place that typically serves alcohol, but might only have caffeine. Usually small, local businesses.

The people that hang out here don’t mind the one-room bathrooms and a little dust on the shelves.

Dodo Bird ~ Yojimbo

2014 World Cup, Blue Canoe (Tupelo), First Impressions, Future Plans, Quick Thoughts, Reasons for Things, The Brass Door

I have discovered that video editing is a time consuming process.  Especially without software.  Fortunately, my Sisyphean relationship with technology yields a little more progress every round.  So I just need to keep learning.

Tupeloyojimbo2014I went to The Blue Canoe in Tupelo last night to catch Yojimbo a second time.  (Note: Word’p’ress spell check does not recognize Tupelo as a proper noun and yet, corrects WordPress automatically.)  Driving an hour and a half to see a show is fairly uncommon for me personally.  I’m not really the “We’re drivin’ to Florida!” guy in the group.  This time the stars aligned perfectly.  Continue reading Dodo Bird ~ Yojimbo →

Yojimbo w/ Dave Cousar @ The Buccaneer 6/24/2014

Buccaneer, The Lamplighter

This must be India because HOLY COW.  I don’t even know where to start so I guess the beginning works best…

I went out last night looking for something low key to get started.  Chess night at The Lamplighter is always a good choice.  From there, I was launched into an evening of the unexpected.

Yo Jim Bo !

Buccaneer, Quick Thoughts

Alright…   I have no business up this late.  But I just couldn’t sleep until I got at least one video uploaded.  This is just a small taste of what you missed at the Buccaneer last night.  Stay tuned for a potential special double post spread.  (Not the dirty kind.)

Bag O’Bones … at the Bucc

Whew, I’m going to need at least 3 more winds before Thursday.

 

 

Horn Tootin!

Buccaneer

ALERT! ALERT!

Hell, I'll probably be in Tupelo Wednesday night too!
Hell, I’ll probably be in Tupelo Wednesday night too!

I completely missed this somehow.  I just learned that Yojimbo! is playing the Buccaneer tomorrow evening at 10PM.  This group from NOLA is a must see!  Not only will I be there, but you will see me dancing.

Come find me and I’ll take your picture. =D

 

 

Pre-Owned Heart ~ Diamond Rings

Art, Buccaneer, Crosstown, Hi Tone, Overton Square, P & H Cafe, Rozelle Warehouse, Young Ave Deli

Wow.  The weekend was so much fun I barely remember last week.  I also have a terrible memory, so it’s not as severe as it sounds.  This weblog turns 3 weeks old this Thursday, but it feels like it’s been months since the beginning of June.  It’s been a pretty hectic time for me – attempting to do/see/hear everything within a 10 mile radius gets challenging at times.  Fortunately, I’m not someone that backs down from a challenge.

The Hard Road ~ Smog

Black Lodge, Brooks, Crosstown, DKDC, Hi Tone, Murphy's, Overton Park, Overton Square, Quick Thoughts, The Cove

After last weekend’s wildness, it’s understandable if you want to take it easy for the next few days.  However, July 4th is around the corner and there will be plenty of private parties for kicking back.  June has been a hot month for happenings and I don’t plan to quit now.  Not everything has to be turned up to 11, so if you’re tired take a look and choose one of the less intense activities for this weekend.

Musical Chairs

Black Lodge, First Impressions, Murphy's, P & H Cafe, The Lamplighter

I set out early last night with a plan.  The gods chortled as I was  derailed by caffeine (or lack thereof), low funds, and excessive anticipation.  Fun was had, but I had a slow start finding it.

Hooligans and Haircuts

Celtic Crossing, P & H Cafe, The Brass Door

I went against my nature yesterday and ventured into the land of sports.  After my experience at Celtic Crossing for the USA v England World Cup match, I vowed to watch USA games from the safety of a private dwelling in the future.  But when I saw the setup The Brass Door put together for this Cup’s opening game, I couldn’t help but check it out.  Continue reading Hooligans and Haircuts →

Morning – Beck

Botanic Gardens, Brooks, Crosstown, Dixon, Hi Tone, Java Cabana, P & H Cafe, Rozelle Warehouse, The Cove

It was a hectic weekend, to be sure.  Once all the dust settles, I think good times were had all around.  I heard that the Rosanne Cash show @ Levitt Shell pulled a record-breaking turnout.  I also received more than one invite to the new High Cotton Brewing Taproom that opened Saturday.  Apparently the Dead Soldiers capped off the festivities.  I was sorry to miss it, but I know the party must go on.
