Saturday at 7 at Urban would be fine by me - $3 well cocktails until 9.
Is mte in as well?

i'll be there. i have a soccer game sunday, so i have to keep it low-key, but i'll take any excuse to sit outside on a nice fall evening.
― mte, Thursday, 7 October 2010 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I have to keep it pretty low key as well. I am wedging this between out of town deejay gigs int what was my recuperating at home day. Still, I can have some cocktails and conversation without getting so drunk I am throwing my garnishes at trucks passing by.

ATTENTION KNOXVILLE
I will be flying in on December 20th, and out on the 28th. There's enough ILXORs there that I think we should meet. Lemme know.
Or we can just go to the Zoo and all purchase those little mold-injected plastic souvenir things

or pedantically group-shop at that one used bookstore!
― Jaw dropping, thong dropping monster (kingfish), Friday, 5 November 2010 01:30 (thirteen years ago) link
that one used bookstore might not even be there in december. it's closing sometime soon and the owner is moving to a different place in north knox. (assuming you mean book eddy.)

is mckay's still going, in their ultra-modern warehouse on the edge of town?
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 5 November 2010 12:13 (thirteen years ago) link
yep. just out there last week. they gave me 80 bucks for some books and cds. the place seems like it's always packed.

and the new book eddy isn't going to be the book eddy, exactly. he's taking a sort of different approach. it'll be smaller (the old corner lounge space) and i think will have some new stuff mixed in with the used. he's ditching a huge amount of his inventory (a lot of it's going to mckay's, i think).

aw, shucks!

lol @ tracer hand. i meant will there still be cats at the book eddy.
CATS was the worst store in the world.

when it was still "cat's records and tapes" it was pretty great :(
in that same little shopping center there was briefly a FANTASTIC used record store whose name i can't remember. i got some bill withers, yazoo, and human league singles there for less than $10 total one time.
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 5 November 2010 15:45 (thirteen years ago) link
that is the store where i work. lost and found records.
― Independent contractor Who manages a Road Show exclusive to Sams Club. (Nijoli), Friday, 5 November 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
it was there for eight or so years and then moved to the strip for a while and is now on walker blvd./broadway. lost and found has been around for over fifteen years now but briefly closed in the early 2000's cause of ebay ruining the record store game temporarily.

i had a weird knoxville dream last night! i was supposed to meet tipsy at market square for a cocktail but i kept running into every person in the world i knew on my way. every single person i past was someone i knew which made me embarrassingly late. when i finally arrived, tipsy was sitting with a panel of news reporters and interviewing bill landry who was making balloon animals outside the tomato head.

Also hey Knoxvillians, get ready for outdoor theater off Magnolia this summer and possibly a new brewery and restaurant down there in the next couple of years

I always wanted Magnolia to get some more attention from the city.

well there's a dude who owned a bunch of abandoned warehouses around there (near Tyson, if that makes sense) who has now just given them to the city because of the tax liability.. and the city now has toactually get creative about how to use them. basically what i'm saying is let's elect madeline rogero

Kingfish, if yr around tomorrow come by brewpub on Gay Street in the mid-late afternoon. It's only open til 6, so there's a tradition among some friends of drinking til they kick us out. I'll probably be there from 4-6. (you can email me at jmayshark (AT) gmail)
