Good morning, gang!
Everybody have a good weekend? Not if you're a Redskins fan (zink!).
I spent the weekend in New York City (pictured) working on some music with an old buddy. We also went out to a couple bars. My favorite was the Dram Shop in Brooklyn. They played a bunch of songs from Radiohead's In Rainbows, the hamburgers were tasty and the beer cold and local. As the English would say, Dram Shop ticked all the boxes.
What were you up to?

Wasn't good if you're a Cowboy's fan either.
Found a new spot for a bar. Maybe opening in Little Italy (no, not at that shack that's for sale).

Friday: felt the early stages of the plague coming on and refused to admit it.
Saturday: continued to refuse to admit plague was happening to me on my bday weekend. Evening = full on admission of sickitude.
Sunday: wallowing in the sheer horror of this bug that's going around.
Oh, happy birthday, Sam!

At least JMU Dukes won in their playoff game and we're now in the quarterfinals...
Holiday party at Woodberry Kitchen was pretty good as they kept the alcohol flowing...though I ended up getting sick I think from some uncooked meat...
My skins are looking horrid...

Hey Sam...I drove by Bourbon Street on Saturday around 9:30 and it was closed up tighter than...well never mind.
So, did it go out of business and I never noticed?

Eutaw, I'm not sure. I'm going to check with Jim Temple and get back to you.
Bryanintimonium, thanks! Feel better!
