Washington

I mentioned this article earlier to Cindy over at TexasGigs (who is going crazy with Houston music coverage this week), and it's also related to recent discussion over at Greg's place about the closing of the FabSat.

Even though the Satellite is now gone, Pam Robinson (second half of article) is doing her part to make Washington a pretty damn cool place. Like John Nova Lomax, I'm a little sad to see Mary Jane's go (I could tell stories about knocking down shots over there with a former president of my place of employment, but that one's probably best left in the graveyard), but the new bar sounds all right, and honestly the place did need a facelift.

I need to get over to Silky's one of these nights. When you're not in the mood for the bustle of The Big Easy or the darkness of The Gallant Knight, but just want some good blues in a dive setting, Silky's has always done the trick. I'm sure it still does.
