Brian's DJing kicked ass, as always.

Jackpot redeemed itself for last weekend, I even tried talking people into Neptune but now I am glad that I didn't.

"Matt was supposed to be djing. i guess he forgot? he forgot last month too haha "

that is weird cause he totally posted something about it on FB...as the reason why he couldn't go to neptune's that night

So I need something to do tonight and am highly considering visiting jackpot. That or a $10 show at Pour House, really... go on, TWW, convince me to avoid spending $10 on a show I honestly don't care about very much...



...or is jp dead on saturday nights or something weird like that?
For that matter, when does vinyl dj? I want to compliment that fucker's good taste to his face.

8/21/2010 3:29:25 PM

If you're going behind enemy lines you might as well go to neptunes

8/21/2010 3:35:36 PM

people usually go to neptunes for most of the night and hit up jackpot at 1-1:30.

8/21/2010 8:25:53 PM

Neptune's will probably be busier and more lively, but you never know

and yes, i think vb is djing

8/21/2010 8:26:58 PM

i thought neptunes was for old people

8/21/2010 8:27:13 PM

ponderosa is playing at the pour house. they are good. they are opening for american aquarium, who i don't really care for.

jp wasn't dead last night, but it WAS full of chirrens

only the shadow know what lurks tonight

8/21/2010 9:33:15 PM

Well vb's pretty much convinced me to go to both.
Triple bonus points for the "the shadow knows" reference.

8/21/2010 10:01:17 PM

i was going to compliment you/geek out on the best coast followed by fuck and run, but this bro was talking to you for like fifteen minutes after two and i had to bounce

8/22/2010 2:48:36 AM

I'm surprised that there isn't any more information than "is imminent".

8/28/2010 6:34:12 PM

(and my grandpa told me about that article before I read it )

8/28/2010 6:35:26 PM

i went to neptunes a couple of weekends ago, and it was hotter than shit in there. we stayed about 10 minutes because i was sweating profusely. i'm not going back until i know that's not a usual issue.

9/30/2010 10:59:51 PM

^ what night did you go? if it isn't super crowded it feels fine...on weeknights when it is just people hanging out i'm cold in there.

JUST GOT BACK FROM JACKPOT! R.I.P.

edit: oh the weekend, yea. it gets pretty crowded and hot i guess on the weekends. though not usually unbearable for me because i'm always cold; however, last weekend i went and i was dying of heat. made me feel nauseous.

"Bar brawl leaves man in critical condition A fight at the Jackpot Bar on Hillsborough Street left a 23-year-old man in critical condition. By Shivalik Daga, Staff Writer Published: Monday, October 4, 2010 Updated: Monday, October 4, 2010 00:10 The Jackpot Bar on Hillsborough Street had an eventful closing Thursday night. According to reports, Evan Lawrence, a 23-year old man, barely managed to survive following a late night brawl that left him with a blood clot in the brain. The injury forced him to undergo surgery at Rex Hospital. He remained in critical condition as of Saturday evening. Jenny Johnson, marketing coordinator at Rex Hospital, said Lawrence has not been discharged and remains under observation. "He's in critical condition," Johnson said. According to an Oct. 3 News and Observer report, Lawrence was partying with friends at the bar at 1303 Hillsborough St. near downtown Raleigh when the incident took place. Lawrence stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, accidently flicking the cigarette onto someone. This led the attacker to retaliate, which ballooned into a full-scale brawl which left the bar's window panes smashed. Residents living near the bar said almost 50 pounds of glass-from bottles, glasses and windows were smashed during the fight, and are still lying across the road from the bar. Arthur Perry, who lives close to the Jackpot Bar on Hillsborough Street, said he was not aware of how the fight started. "There was glass strewn all over the place. I don't know how it all actually started, but they must have had a big fight," Perry said. Perry said the Jackpot Bar was planning on closing down after that night, and this was just incidental. It was a crowded night and the lot was packed with cars, Perry said. The bar's window now has a gaping slit, wide enough for a thin person to enter. According to Perry, the Jackpot Bar has always been a place for miscreants. "They were a bunch of drunken revelers," Perry said. "It's good that they are closed now, they were always very loud and rowdy." No N.C. State students were found to be involved in the incident. Lawrence's family was unavailable for comment Sunday night."
