I see Bill's Barbary Coast Gamblin' Hall has put together a
considerable lineup of lounge acts. No fewer than 10 bands now rotate
in and out of the nightly schedule, not to mention the plus-sized Big
Elvis performing five afternoons a week. On Friday and Saturday nights
there's live music until 5 AM.

What? No Pickadillos?

I went to the Pickadillos website today, but it wasn't there. Did the
Pickadillos go away, or did I have the wrong URL?

Last we heard, Steve was putting together a new band for 2008 and
practicing to be a lead vocalist. His bandmate, the most excellent
guitarist Raj Rathor, was supposed to remain in the new group.

Maybe Steve will pick a new name for the band as well.

First rehearsal is on Monday. We have a cat named Nelson Whitehead on bass
guitar and J.T. Lowery is SMOKIN' mandolin player. Both hail from Georgia
and are really solid players. Just have to add drums. We should be gigging
by spring time.

Same name.. I just need to login and make my domain registrar happy!

I will never knock SHK's banjo pickin'. But his voice sounds like an alley
cat being neutered without anesthesia.

Coupon Book at Bill's Here's what you supposedly get as a new member of the slot club - which answers the question of where to get the $10 discount for the Rio Seafood Buffet. Thomas W. Funbook includes: $5 of the Flavors buffet $5 off the Emperor's buffet at IP $5 off Harrahs

Bill's Gambling Emporium, or whatever the hell they call it Many folks, including me, think the new name for the former Barbary Coast is dumb. My question is this: What else should it have been named? Now keep in mind, we're talking about Harrah's, so maybe this is the best name those bean counters could think

Dino's Lounge Has anyone else ever been to Dino's? I would describe as a mix between the old Algiers Motel bar and Larry's Villa (w/ out the strippers). It's a pretty cool place to have a drink. It is right across the street from Olympic Gardens. They have a "Drunk of
