DBT WIR - 8/24/07

Weekend words from Jenn B.

Nine Bullets

Man, if I wasn't here already, I'd be on my way here. This weekend is gonna be awesome.

First off though, we gotta start with good news for our homies in Birmingham tonight - Mr. Patterson Hood will be entertaining at the Birmingham Museum of Art - Art On The Rocks show. I believe he'll have the fabulous Messrs. John Neff and The EZB with him. You might see a Cooley there, who knows. Can't ever tell.

Saturday night back in Athens, Patterson is playing over at The Melting Point with Neff and The EZB. Get there early though 'cause Bo Bedingfield is opening, and most of his great band The Wydelles will sit in. Neff also plays in The Wydelles, so he's doing double duty. Can't get too much Neff tho, can ye?

Stick around for Sunday night - cause if you haven't been to the coolest little bowling alley in Athens, Kingpins, then you gotta go - not for bowling this time, though. Southern Bitch and Centro-fucking-Matic are playing there! In the bowling alley! (Hopefully people won't bowl during the show...)

Mind you, I will be missing the Sunday show because I've had a long-planned vacation starting that day, Which kills me, just KILLS me, since Centro-Matic is one of my favorite bands ever and Southern Bitch are a rock and roll wet dream... but it's my Mama's birthday, and Mama wants to go to the beach, and believe it or not, I love my Mama more than Centro-Matic. I know, I know, but that's just how it is.

I might, however, be back in time for the Brent Best show at Flicker on Thursday. If not I may have to follow him up to ATL for the Larry Brown Tribute at Eddie's Attic... What a week for shows, boys and girls!

In the famous words of Outkast:
"You got to get up, get out and get somethin'.
Don't let the days of your life pass by.
You got to get up, get out and get somethin'.
Don't spend all your time trying to get high!"

Mama loves Outkast.

My little hometown is growing up.... finally.

New business brewing | TimesDaily.com | Times Daily | Florence, AL:

You can't help but pause a moment when your eyes reach an area behind the bar at Mug Shots, a downtown Florence pub.

Four sets of 11 beer taps stand out. They're topped with handles of various shapes and sizes representing the wide variety of draft beer Mug Shots will be offering Sept. 1, the day when draft beer becomes legal in Florence.

"Representatives of Hooters have been in negotiations with Florence officials about possibly bringing a restaurant to a site on Florence Boulevard just east of Cox Creek Parkway. They reportedly wanted to see how the draft beer legislation for Florence progressed before taking negotiations to a higher level."
