here are a few pictures from last week:
this is patio. i took this picture from the sidewalk (the bar is closer to the back). you can see how close my dj setup is to the street. every week, several sets of people walk by, hear a song i’m playing, stop, look in, deliberate, and then come in and get a drink. i think it has to be one of the few places that can happen.
one week, around 1:00am or so, just as I mixed into “I Got a Story To Tell” by Biggie, two high school-aged black guys halted as they they passed in front of the bar to air-drum the rim-shot part for the first 30 seconds. I just smiled and nodded to the beat until the bar where biggie says “kodak insta-ma-tac” and the drum pattern changes, at which point i joined them. I got two big smiles and they kept moving.

this is moe’s on saturday night. you can’t really tell that people are dancing but this was during “That’s The Way Love Is” by Ten City which went over really well in between “Gypsy Woman” by Crystal Waters and “I’ll House You” by the Jungle Brothers.
