New Year brings change ...

Well, the new year is bringing with it some changes in the Blue Dahlia schedule. I've got to focus more on making money somehow and getting this grant proposal written by Feb. 1st, so I've chiseled the Open Mic down to every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month. So this month it will be on January 10th & 24th and I wish I could tell you who the features would be but since I was thinking I was going to not be able to do it at all after December, I haven't yet booked anyone for the new year.

This will also give anyone interested the opportunity to check out the Open Mic held at FLCC on the first Wednesday of the month (while school's in session) so there won't be one this week (here nor there) but starting in February, the Open Mic will be going at FLCC the first Wednesday and we will still have the Blue Dahlia Open Mic on the second and fourth Wednesday.

There will still be Pure Kona at Daily Perks in the city every Thursday for those of you looking to feed your poetry addiction. This week, January 4th, will be guitarist, sitarist Jack Edward Smith. And next week, January 11 will be Ed Downey. Two weeks of music to start the Open Mic off right!

Also, keep Januray 18th open as international activist John Sinclair from Amsterdam (and not the one in NY) will be featuring along with the musicians from Dream Engine. And the month will round off with Sir Norm of Davis as the January 25th feature.

Daily Perks is also undergoing a bit of a management shift and renovation and James has added lots of lively, luscious foods to the menu (I especially like the portabello mushroom & artichoke sandwich with a nice chai latte - yum!). You can check out what else is new there by clicking the title of this post ...

Hope y'all enjoyed your New Year's festivities & I will see you around town (in or out of it somewhere, somehow - I'm sure). Feliz Nuevo Anos!
