The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Dateline: Asbury park

Fun night of drinkin and rockin and rollin. Rolled into town and hit the WonderBar for amry/navy. The staff were great… they normally kick people out at 6 for the 7pm show. But I was wearing my first cav hat and the waiter and bartender recognized it. Bartender was Air Force vet. They let us stay and watch the football game. Two bars came on and did sound check - both good.

Then we moseyed to the Stone Pony. Jesse Malin fuckin brought it. His band is so good. Imagine Americana music with a few dashes of punk rock sensibilities. He was stricken w a rare spinal stroke and can no longer use his legs. He is able to stand and sit but can’t walk. They literally carried him on and off the stage.

He’s a helluva songwriter and story teller.

Met a bunch of lovely people. Drank too much.

Hungover.

Did Bruce show up?

Did Bruce show up?

No… I’ve been to the stone pony and other clubs around Asbury park a metric fuck ton of times.

But never a Bruce sighting.

My wife has seen him before and many new Jerseyans have a “Bruce sighting” story, but I do not.

I spent a lot of time down the shore. No Bruce stories but spent a few nights at the Stone Pony, I think!

If you think you were there you probably had a good time!

It’s a great club and they have a great sound system.

It is similar to the thing they say about the 60's. If you remember it you weren't there.

If Miller is the champagne of beers…

And Yorkshire is the champagne of tea…

Is chock full of nuts in a percolator the champagne of coffee??

(Sorry B2… just egging you on!)

That would, of course, depend upon whose nuts it is chock full of . . . .

Who said Miller was the champagne of beers? . It’s Guinness.

And nothing from a percolator can be close to being good enough to be the champagne of coffee .

Sneaux. Out shooping. Lurvely.

 

[Missk_2022]

Thanks to you, I caught the second half of the Army/Navy game! I seemed to remember it being around Thanksgiving weekend or week after, thought I missed it, but saw yer post yesterday! Thanks…sadly we lost…but exciting game.

Next year.

SWMBO bought us some tix to a GD Cover band that came down from RDU. It was in what I always thought was a little dive tavern on a backroad in a neighborhood in what the hipsters are calling “Midtown” now

Well. The band was pure fire, had the Dead vibe down pat. Lead guy doing Jerry’s parts was on point and even had a replica “Tiger” guitar (the one famously auctioned off to the owner of the Indy Colts), the crowd was nice mix of old hippies, hipster 30-40 yr olds, some college kids, and the usual burn-outs than flavor any Dead themed show!



It was a balmy 62 and humid last night. Front pushing through and it’s getting down to 19 tonight!. No snow, but windy…I haven’t even seen what the chill factor is going to be but it wont affect me as I’m staying inside.

Everyone hunker down and stay warm. Stay out of the snow and floods out west. Get them critters safe in the barn!

You have a valid point. I can layer up and stay warm in winter. I can only take off so much in the heat of summer. Come north when it gets too hot in June and July.

I’m a fan of this!

Move north in summer and south in winter. When I inherit the $ from the rich uncle…

My neighbor did a snow angel this morning

I have friends and family south of here. But the 17 year old dog needs me now. When he passes, I will travel south in the winter.

 

[Missk_2022]

I left my eggs out overnight... damn it

 

[Wat_Tyler]

They're probably fine.

Bring Out Yer Dead? Jeenyus!!!

I put on some Wonderer sauce/gravy. I went to get some paperwork from the brother relative unit earlier and told him of my plans - Sunday Gravy. Said I got it from a guy in Jehzeh. Italian, he asks? No, guy in Jehzeh. Yeah? Yeah, he knows a guy. Of course, he got it.

Sneaux is gone. Getting colder. Sun is out. That Damned Kitten is on the desk. RedZone is on.

What's for lunch?

 

[Greylag]

This was too much for your English sensitivities, G??? We can get MUCH more descriptive! Want us to tell you??

Very kind of you to offer but …. Errr no thank you @Lilianna23

 

[Greylag]

You lucked out!

Yeah thank goodness that’s all that is going out in this house @Lilianna23

[Greylag]

True!

That’s it you are banned from my dinner table unless your mouth is taped and you are fed by tube unless you are prepared to keep such conversation away from my ears.

How is it in bonny scotland today

It rained, then it rained heavily, then it pissed down and we had a gale which is still raging. There is a puddle on the kitchen floor where my coat was hanging. So it’s been fair to middling really …. And thanks for asking… hugs and cold noses hoping your recovery is going well @Missk_2022
