Boise’s most often renamed bar is closed. The former Docksider et al. has a sign on the door thanking us for our patronage. The recent hang out of Nathan Jay Moody is at least for the time being done. With the dock season starting, I’m guessing it won’t be to long before this location re-opens. Although with another new name!

Revolution Blue-CD Review

boiseboy — Sun, 11 May 2008 17:27:14 +0000

Former Hoochie Man Ed Hornung recently sent me his new CD. Revolution Blue-Join the Revolution.

There is a lot to enjoy about this CD. It is extremely well produced. You will hear the attention to detail.

Despite the title, the tunes are mostly a hard edged rock. There is defiantly a blues influence here. Rock/blues fans will enjoy the 1st track-“He Don’t Love You”, written by James Lancaster. For a softer touch, look to Ed’s remake of “Caught in Your Spell” (featured on a The Blues Society disc “Another Round)” and “Through The Years.

With a decidedly 70’s stadium rock band feel. Revolution Blue is a bold, powerful CD with the sound of a big time release. Let’s hope it turns out that way.

Red Feather Door Locked-The rest of the story

boiseboy — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:39:32 +0000

Just walked by the Feather(Wednesday @ noon) and the door is shut. The Bitterceek is packed. Gotta wonder what is the deal.

How rare that you’re the last one to hear, Dave! We’re not serving lunch anymore on the Red Feather side. You can, however, get some of the items from the old RF menu at Bittercreek now. We’re focusing our energies on day-parts that really fit the context of Red Feather… we’re keeping weekend Brunch, Dinner every night, and are still open late for drinks at the bar.

You said what?

boiseboy — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:50:21 +0000

Been taking some heat in the comment section of late. I love it! What started as a blog for a small group of friends and coworkers has become something more. Last month over 8000 people wandered by. Wow and thanks.

As for the comments, well. Boisee.com is what it is. See notice to readers.

Boisee.com is my opinion, my likes, and dislikes. I write about what I know. Someone recently accused me of “journalism.” I assured him that any journalism found here was entirely by mistake. Integrity hopefully-real news-not so much.

Sometimes I will post a rumor and label it as such. Yes, now and then I am wrong. Mostly I get it close. If you disagree, or I get it wrong-your welcome to come on in make a comment and say so.

Liquor up front. . .

boiseboy — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:41:32 +0000

The real estate gurus are reporting that a tenant for a big “double” bar is looking in downtown Boise for a location.
What is a double bar? It is a clasic idea, you put one type of music and vibe in one end. A differnt style in the other. So country up front, live rock, or a DJ in back. Done right it can appeal to at least two types of customers, the nightlifers like only having to pay one cover.

The original Shorty’s started like this, go back further and you have the Rockin’ Rodeo across from BSU.
It can work.

Wouldn’t it be very cool to see downtown be a Mecca of great music and fun times.

Downtowns a Buzz

boiseboy — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:15:06 +0000

If this was a real news site, you would have to call this BREAKING NEWS. Insiders are telling us that the old Funny Bone is going to be remodeled into a good old fun time bar. Think the Bouquet back when it had Blues, or Pengillys back when it had smoke.

If you drink in any of the places you read about in Boisee.com you will find familiar faces behind the bar. We are also told that the room will feature live music and local art! All I need is $4.00 Red Label’s and I’m there.
More soon.

If you combine DK and Phred’s answers you have a winner. So I will give them both a print. This is an image of the Koenig vodka distiller. It was custom designed to make alcohol out of Idaho Russet potatoes.
The vodka created has a unique and sweeter taste than the usual corn based vodkas.

Identify this image and I will send you a signed 12×18.

Just post your guess in the comments.

Thanks for playing!

to me

Thank you Mister Day. Just want you to know that Boisee is my connection to Boise. Things are great here is Florida, my mother ’s doing great, during the day I work at Ronsonet Buick, GMC ( my classmate is the owner) and it allows me to play with A-list national and international smooth jazz artist such as Matt Marshak, U-nam and Jeff Kashiwa. John Nemeth played the Bradfordville Blues Club near Tallahassee Florida last year I surprised him and he introduced me to the audiece, we hung out and had a good time.

Thank you for your site I like it a lot , I get to see my old friends in a place were I spent 14 yrs of my life playing music and developing relationships. I called Paul and he is recovering daily. Thanks again.

Love Always from the Sunshine State

Nothing more fun. . .

then a room full of musicians of a Sunday afternoon. OK, maybe they look a bit rough, so maybe might have just woken up.

The generosity of this music/bar community always make me smile. The benefit for Paul Peterson is happening around me now. The Ha’ Penny is full of rockers, divas, and bluesmen, and the vibe is full tilt boogie. Spike(yep that Spike) is working crowd with the auction. I’ll post some pics, tomorrow.

Thanks to all who helped.

Serious inquiries only. Liquor License for sale in Boise.

I didn’t think a Boisee.com story was a “serious inquiry.”

Milky Way to close.

boiseboy — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:05:05 +0000

Gotta admit this one surprises Boisee. Frankly we have heard the hints and rumors and could not belieive them!

The Milky Way is closing as of this Saturday. Bummer!

From their start in the basement of the Carrols building, Milky Way has always been one of our favorites.

Expect to see some of the staff at the Bonefish.

That means powerhouse bartendter Kevin Farney is “on the beach” so the Martini Mix-Off is wide open.

Forbes Likes Boise

boiseboy — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:51:11 +0000

Forbes magazine has Boise in many of it’s top ten lists. Last week it was terrorists, before that we were “lustful” Now we have good water. . .

Boise City, Idaho

Boise ranked in the top five for lowest levels of lead in its drinking water. But the “City of Trees” had higher levels of haloacetic acid, bacteria and turbidity

Enought already.
