Well I have to report I finally made it to one of these. Last night was George, Preston, Gil and Adrian. The music I saw was scorching hot! Unfortunetly I have about a 3 song limit in this environment and was back and forth to Bar. If you can stand the smoke, you really should check this out.

and this past wed night was a blast!
preston was back on bass for the evening ( i think he hadnt played with them in several months) and they were all feelin good... after most songs preston would lean towards gil (?), the drummer, and say , "That was the best we ever played it, too!!"
very exciting stuff happening there, i was glad to be able to witness it finally

Great night of music last night at the Owll Shop. Sequoia, Animal, Ostriker, Lesiw Band + guest were in the house jamming. Ostriker has some really great chops when it comes to jazz. Animal sat in for a song or two on drums which was a treat. Would have been nice if Lesiw was on guitar while Animal was on drums for those songs. Great seeing Sequoia sitting in and playing some jazz. Mike Nuno is the man!
could have used a heads up on this one......thanks for nothing internet.
and i left new haven at 8:00 cause i was being a light weight.

the owl shop is pretty swanky and makes me almost want to smoke a cigar (i felt left out with my trashy marlboros in such a place).
have any of the shows been taped? i\'d love to hear this again. the band sounded fantastic. also a random unimportant note: the bass player has a ser resemblance to jerr (not the old gray dying jerr).
Mike Nuno?
These have been taped by Ken untill he got on his high horse about the smoke.....

I Just Think George Started Something Great Up In A Bad Place. There\'s So Many Places Around To Settle Into. A Cigar Lounge Doesn\'t Seem Fitting For People Not Into The Smoke Thing. No Machine Is Going To Make A Smokey,Stinky Cigar Lounge Seem Like It\'s Not A Smokey,Stinky Cigar Lounge. Many People Didn\'t Go Out Because Of The Smoke Filled Rooms Of The Past. I Think The Smoking Ban Was Good For Everyone. It\'s Not A Big Deal Now For People To Step Outside For A Smoke. It\'s Nice For People Who Are Bothered By Smoke To Go Out To A Club & Not Have To Deal With It. I Feel Sick And Have A Sore Throat Because I Went Out To Hear Musicians I Know. Now I Can\'t Go Because Of The Smoking Environment There. I\'m Sure I\'m Not The Only One. I Might Not Be Over Last Wed. Until Maybe Mon.
Holy **** That Must Have Taken A Long Time To Type Out Unless You Used Some Sort Of Script Or Program. But Typing Like This Is Kinda Fun I Think I\'ll Keep Doing It.

I will never ever live down the walking comment (among others), will I? I still stand by my walking comment from 2006. Walking from my apartment on Orange/Crown to Toad\'s would have been a bad choice...by myself....being an attractive girl....
In regards to cigars, I can totally see why you are being a pansy ;) Some people just don\'t like the odor. Its an acquired thing. I grew up with my Pops who smoked cigars and cherry tobacco. The smell brings me back to my youth. Cigarettes, on the other hand, I can\'t stand....

thats exactly why they are investing in a new anti smoke machine.
smoke didnt stop people from going out before the smoking ban. i dont see see why people cant put up with it now. especially with the ser music that is going on at owl shop.
yes it did. There were plenty of venues I would not go to before the smoking ban, usually based on size of room to crowd that smokes size ratio. if it\'s going to form a cloud, no interest. plus I hate how my clothes smell the next day/ on the ride home/ etc.
Don\'t get me wrong, if you want to smoke, go right ahead. I just don\'t want to have to breathe it. So if that means avoiding certain places, then I\'ll probably avoid them, or only go for >30 min to show band support and then leave.

p.s. i\'m not a pansy ass about this smoke ****. i smoked up a storm for many a year... everything out there...stinky cigars too....inhaled like a bong hit... my body told me to quit or you\'re going down for the count.... i quit,felt good, body felt better,mind felt better,could breathe again...it\'s so nice to breathe! oxygen is good folks! going to the owl shop for me is like going to an AA meeting and doing shots of scotch. beating addictions is a great struggle. i tried for over ten years to get off the smokies. was good to be clean of that ****,can\'t deal with it now. can\'t enjoy the music when i can\'t open my eyes cause they\'re burning up... can\'t enjoy the music because i\'m trying not to barf... can\'t enjoy the music because my throat is closing up & my lungs are burning.. can\'t enjoy the music when i know i\'m going be sick half the week.. you get the point folks...
