And it was a pretty friendly atmosphere, with a handy smoking tent outside (full on midwest storm raging at the time)...skimpy beer selection but I am spoiled.Speaking of fuckrs! Um, I told ya I woulda driven down there?!
My main complaint was that when I sat in (strictly an exception, not an "open" jam) they gave NO opportunity to tune up... just launched into a tune as I walked onstage... fuckrs! (not you Jim, thanks a ton for trying)

I've got a few friends peeved at me from not getting together with them this last visit, but that's how it goes with a 20 month old kid sometimes. I'll be back in August- let's make a point of getting together. I'll probably go ahead and bring a guitar next time too, much easier than borrowing one (for a lefty).tigerstrat wrote:I would fully recommend the above posted Harte's Saloon Thursday Dead Night.

I see only too often the struggles with little ones. And I'm sure I'm lower on your visit list being so far from "home". August for sure!!!
