• New Irish Pub in South Saint Louis

  Saint Louis 25.08.2008 No Comments

  

  Saint Louis, and Soulard in particular, has a new Irish Pub, and 3am establishment. Patrick McKeane’s features live music, and the array of stouts and lagers that you would expect at any respectable Irish public house.

  Besides a new venue for crack and music, Patrick McKeane’s Pub is giving back to the community with its patrons’ help. Right now, you can contribute to the Patrick McKeane Scholarship Fund.

  Go check out Patrick McKeane’s Pub at:

  3152-54 Osceola
  St. Louis, MO 63111

  Check out their website at http://www.patrickmckeanespub.com/.

  Thanks to my friend Summer for tipping me off.

• Taking the Music to O’Fallon, MO and Soulard, This Weekend

  Shows, St Louis Irish Music 14.08.2008 No Comments

  

  Chocolate Cafe and Coffee House, O'Fallon, MO

  A great weekend of Irish music. Friday night, I’ll head off to Saint Charles County, right off U.S. 40 (I-64) to Chocolate Cafe and Coffee House. That show will start at 7:30PM. Chocolate Cafe is right at U.S. 40 on the west side of Route K. The actual address is 1120 Technology Drive.

  Saturday night, I return to the fabulous O’Malley’s Irish Pub in Soulard. At 1900 Cherokee St, at the corner of Lemp and Cherokee, it’s just blocks from the Anheuser-Busch brewery, and right across the street from the old Lemp Brewery. It’s a great Irish pub with a history of serving healthy doses of the region’s own Irish music offerings. Tommy, Bailey, and the whole family work their arses off to make you feel at home. I’ll bring the music. So, call your friends and meet them at this local gem.

  Merlin Mann put our artist lifestyles in perspective, “Put plainer, my sense is that western culture would be a damn sight poorer today if John Lennon had been forced to carry a goddamn BlackBerry.”

  ‘Tis true, Merlin. ‘Tis true. I’d hope he’d have been better at ignoring the stuff than I am.

• Olympic Protest: Light a Candle for Tibet

  Better World 07.08.2008 No Comments

  

  Tonight, at 9PM in your time zone, light a candle in protest for Tibet. The Olympics begin tomorrow, and this year’s games in Beijing have already caused a stir. Of course, many feel that awarding the games to China, with their refusal to address human rights and dignity issues, amounts to a reward. Should an international organization, intended to perpetuate goodwill, dignify inhumanity by holding such an event in such an offending country. I would say, “No.” In fact, I do. I’m not saying I won’t support our teams, but I’m not so likely to watch, as I normally would. Many people won’t watch at all.

  Whether you watch, I hope you’ll light a candle tonight.

  I gotta tell ya. After three missed years, there, including the third –I think- in which the store that housed it closed soon thereafter, I’m so gonna campaign to play at this show. Maybe I’ll just make some kit up, and apply for a booth. We’ll see.

• Website Photo and Gallery Updates In Progress

  Photos 06.08.2008 1 Comment

  

  I’ve made some updates to the photos on my site. You may notice that I’m now using more thumbnails, and FancyZoom to display the larger image.

  Let me know what you think. I’m doing a lot of housekeeping around here, now that I’ve a bit more time. Once September hits, things break nutty all over again.

  So, go check out the photo gallery. I’ll be adding some more photos over the next couple of weeks –and beyond, of course.
