Tonight’s going to be a fun night. At 7:00 the Flying Saucer will roll out their new, improved UFO Club, with new rewards for people who drink 200 beers to get to the “Ring of Honor.” As someone who has already been through 3 times and is working on a 4th, I’m very interested to hear what they have to say.
Around 9 I’ll head south to Earnestine & Hazel’s, where Dynaflow will be playing. I missed them at Downtown Olympics and at Calhoun’s NYE party, so I’m excited to get to hear this band for the first time.
In other news, Brad Birkedahl, formerly of The Dempseys, will make his premiere with his new band The Burnin’ Love Band on Thursday, March 4 at Blues City Cafe at 8 PM. If you can’t make it Thursday, they’ll have shows Friday-Saturday the 5th and 6th as well. More info about the band on Brad’s website.
Looks like City Market at Main and Union is going to happen. They won a forgivable loan from the CCDC yesterday.
“25 years ago” in the CA: On February 19, 1985, a restaurant operator on Beale said that if they experienced another year like the last one on Beale, there wouldn’t be any shops left.
Last night I attended the rally for the panhandling and single beer ordinances. At lunchtime I’ll put up a post reviewing what was said, and two important dates/times in the next five days.
