- Everyone, I’ve got an announcement: I’m PREGNANT.
Reflections has become our new favorite Saturday pre-drinking joint now that the bar has introduced early shows beginning at 9pm. Last week we swilled $3 bottles of Olands to the sounds of the eternally youthful The Whiskey Kisses and the exuberantly cuss-y Whiskey Bent and Hellbound. Plus, two words: Hee-Haw burlesque. Then we went to a house party and got all stupid to Jimmy Cliff, in that perfect mid-buzz phase where you’re kind of silly but not yet sloppy and feeling tomorrow’s regret. A perfect evening.
This week, The Visitation takes the stage with Omacobba and The East Side Marijuana Band and Gang Related, which organizer Craig Hamlin describes as “Skee-lo and ODB covers over an engaging ‘80s hardcore backbeat.” Jesus Christ on a cracker. For those of you who hate music and prefer video games, March 27 is the VIDEOGAMEARAMA gaming competition that features the triumphant return of my favorite Craig Hamlin project, Nerd Army. Hold onto your butts!
