We'll Spoon Again, Don't Know Where, Don't Know When


Thinking about the Boot now, I should point out that Norfolk Restaurant Week starts today and it would be a great time to check out their patented organic, locally grown Italian menu. Actually, I'm fairly broke so I won't be indulging, but I did want to post the cute spoons graphic the Boot kids sent out. Do you remember when intimate slang started to pop up in late elementary school and you had to glean the meanings from kids who had no better idea than you? For a long time I thought that "spooning" was something a lot more graphic, nasty, and purely theoretical than the sweet activity it turned out to be.

Claire Hux Put On Quite A Show


Caught the Claire Hux show at the Boot last night, and man oh man can they entertain a crowd. Motherfuckin' wild out day (though I don't think we actually broke anything...maybe next time...I guess Rob Lowe in St. Elmo's Fire wouldn't have called it a party). Giddy Baltimore Club mayhem, great make-up, shirts with Phylicia Rashad's iconic mug printed on them, dancing, baby powder...its still a blur but I know I enjoyed it. They have a free mixtape you should download...

Claire Hux - Jammin on the One Mixtape

Berk & Co. always put together a good show, but this one might have been the bestest I've made it to. The charismatic and ridiculously dextrous emcee Ced Hughes logged another fine performance. One cut I had not heard before was around a Dante Lewis beat screwed from Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone", still the best cell phone melody ever. Ced also has a free mixtape you should download.

Berk Is Not An Optimistic Speculator

Berk is throwing a party/organizing a show on Saturday at one of my favorite places, The Boot. Per usual, he's got Ced Hughes in tow, and he's wrangling Claire Hux from Baltimore. Is there a reason not to go? Maybe if you hate fun.
