machenry's

fell by machenry's to drop off some posters for da upcoming dave karnes gigs. the rogues were playing, buncha cats with two bagpipes and a coupla drummers. they didn't actually wear kilts, but they had that sound that you're supposed to hear when you've sipped a truly noble scotch. anyhoo. nice room, nice sound, nice vibe. most impressive thang: evabody in the good-sized crowd was focused on the stage, as if they were at the bass hall or something. my sweetie remarked that even caravan of dreams crowds weren't that attentive. true dat. almost sci-fi, but i could dig it.

an added plus: big mike richardson has monday nights there in february.
