(Thanks, toddler bounce house Nick!)

Nothing against Make-Out Room at all, but I figured it’s worth noting that he’s played Make-Out Room multiple times a year for at least the last 15 years I can remember — but very very rarely anywhere else in the neighborhood. Thursday night he plays the Chapel, with Tommy Larkins on drums of course.

Get tickets and more info here.

Here’s a recording of Talking Heads covering “Pablo Picasso” a long time ago:

Summer is just about here, and local bar-with-a-big-patio Virgil’s wants to celebrate in a very generous manner:

Please join us on the patio and Enjoy FREE SAMPLES of our summer cocktails bouncy castle for sale like the Spicy Watermelon Margarita (made with fresh watermelon juice and jalapeno tincture) and the Apiary (with house infused Apricot Absolut vodka). We would love to see you there! All are welcome!

RSVP and invite your friends (and peruse the full cocktail menu) here.

From the fine fine folks at Turner’s Kitchen, on the menu for the next few days at least, probably. Here’s whatsonit:

Pulled pork, crispy spam (cooked in bacon fat), caramelized pineapple (cooked in spam and bacon fat), jalapeño-lime coleslaw and crispy jalapeños on King Hawaiian rolls or Dutch crunch.

Alo-HAHHHH! Read on for most-excellent suggested chip and soda pairings (which you can take next door to 500 Club for most-excellent beer and shot pairings too).

Local photographer Melissa has been getting some real good cars ‘n’ trees lately…

I know everybody got all excited about this show happening a few weeks back, but then it got rescheduled. Now it’s Sunday night, at the Chapel, don’t forget. Info and tix here.

Thanks, David.
