Lisa looks like a bit of a full-figured kinda gal. Hopefully she has weak lungs.
Yeah, she's sorta doddering a bit. Hope she packs it in before Bermuda.
Lisa's all the way on the right. I believe Karl is in the middle and Jeanne is on the left.
Lisa? Oh, no! Not another one. One of my main managers is a Lisa. We get on her tomorrow.
Pan, you must be really old. The Library? That's been gone forever. UVA owns that property now. It's a little museum of some kind. The Mousetrap is now Orbitz, a poolhall/eatery of some kind.
Max/Trax is also gone, bought and torn down by UVA (notice the trend here). It was a great place particularly in its last few years when the manager/booker was a 5'2" lady named Dana. She was good, damn good, at running a club.
Bear, the basement bar was the Mineshaft, undoubtedly. Mike M was the owner. I bought that building in 1980 and inherited a very long lease at little rent. The place was a firetrap and brawls seemed to occur pretty much every hour on the hour. It took eight years for the lease to run out and Mike and I were at each others' throats pretty much continuously.
But me and my friends would sometimes camp-out on the floor above, in my store. We could hear and feel the music, drink beer and smoke pot and be able to get to the bathroom without having to stand in line. The rule was, though, that once in you had to surrender your car keys until Sunday morning. God, it was fun.
Thanx for the compliment RJB. You have to understand these clubs are as fresh as yesterday to me. We played the Mineshaft too, though infrequently.
Is Poe's still there, John of Virginia? UhOh...lol
It rained harder today than anything I saw with Frances. Tried to surf but the waves were too fast, big and unformed.
Oh, my. And Ivan may be reincarnated.
I think Ivan and Karl have left the area, but Jeanne can't make up her mind about what she wants to do and Lisa is simmering out there.
(johnboy resists the temptation to make a pithy comment about "male" hurricanes vs "female" ones. We're tired of them all).
A lady we know asked for prayers for her son, he is a truck driver - taking relief supplies to Georgia - he's been missing for 3 days.
My goodness! How could that be?
Relief supplies to Georgia, USA? I don't think they need any there. Perhaps he went to the other Georgia, which is in the old Soviet Union.
That would be a long, long haul.
I forget where Poe's was but it's gone, long gone, like nevermore.
Ironic thing is that Edgar attended UVA for less than a year before he got tossed out for incessant gambling (and losing) and for spending a lot of time in the woods behind my house (really!) on various drugs, muttering to himself and writing. -rjb-
I know, John of Virginia. Poe was a lot of things. Guess his room is still there with pennies on the bed. Wow! Don't folks love to deify people after they die?
Well now! We are getting a hell of a storm right now. Don't know if Ivan doubled back or Jeanne is reaching out. Winds blowing about 50 mph and it's pouring down rain.
