Jammin' Java

what night was Damien playing w/ Rosie? I think if it's a Monday it's part of an open mic type featurette. I hope it's not 11/24 as his site says, b/c it may not be a full show!
It is 11/24. From this on Jurado's website, my guess is that it's at Jammin Java.

I'd be fine with it being on open mike night. That means it would be free admission.

what's the likelihood of wrong city for this? I thought rosie did iota proud. why not there? couldn't there be another venue? I mean I see it a lot where a band says they're one place but change it. I'd be surprised to see that show at JJ on a Monday.
Those were my thoughts. I would think this show would be at Iota, but we'll see.

I wouldn't mind it being at JJ, because as I said, my mom will be in town. With chairs and smoke-free, I'm sure she would enjoy JJ. If at Iota, I'd either have to put her to bed, or not go.

If I didn't have company, Id be happy with Iota as venue.
iota = smoke haven

but great bands play there. no doubt. we'll see I guess.

well, one who really would care to see the show wouldn't sit in the booth, but for a mom, it might be OK…please translate "skeevy mcseevers"
i've just seen some shiat go down in that booth. 'nuf said. makes me wonder how much club mooking actually goes on. why would you sit down at a bar show anyway?
I feel old, I don't understand anything chkfngers or flawd101 are saying.

i think skeevy mcseevers is like a Stiffly Stifferson.

and i dont know what in the hell those two clowns are talking about either. I need my Generation X internet slang handbook.
I went to Jammin Java last night to see Chris Whitley. It's a cool little place.

As described above, there are some little cafe tables up front and rows of chairs in the back. I don't see how they could fit 180 in there unless they did it as an all standing room.

Smoke-free, and they have waiters that come to the tables. Beer and wine and food.

I don't think it will replace iota. It's got too much of a mellow, polished vibe – with the little tables and all. Whitley was great, but I think I prefer to see road-worn, tortured, ex-junkie blues guitarists in a smokier and rougher place like iota.
ggw, what general area do you live? Wondering how far it is, and if they post their schedule on a website or anything… And how much was cover?
I had a hankering for going last night but my plans were derailed to Mr. Smith's. I've only been on weekends so haven't seen a show there but it's definitely a nice spot food and soundwise.

I was there too! first time seeing whitley - I thought he was pretty good but damn the guy is fidgety (and he looks like he could use a good meal!)

jammin java is a decent venue - its always nice to leave a place not stinking of stale smoke

Yeah, he's fidgety.

I saw him last about a year or year and a half ago, and he was a total wreck. The guitar tech had to come play guitar for the last half of the show while Whitley garbled and mumbled some incomprehensible lyrics, so it was good to see him back in playing shape.

Then let me invite you to Montgomery County Maryland…you can go in any bar you like and come out smelling of Fabreze. Of course there's nobody in these bars because they all went into DC so they could have a smoke with their beer. And come soon before they all go out of business.
