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.

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.

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.

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.

The vodka created has a unique and sweeter taste than the usual corn based vodkas.

Recieved this e-mail this morning, thought I would share. Wayne is one of the cool guys. To bad he got out of town before my second dance lession. Here is his letter:


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

Wayne Levy

Take a look at the picture he sent. That is the 1st 4 of the SIX foot tall letters filled with crushed cans. Here is some info from Mike’s e-mail.

The letters will spell out RECYCLE. Each letter stands 6 feet tall, 4 feet across and are about 16 inches thick. We are filling them with crushed aluminum cans. After the project is complete we will be donating the money from all the cans to the St.Lukes MSTI, for Breast Cancer. We are looking for all types of cans, crushed, or not. They can drop off the cans at our office, Coolightwest/Worldaglow, 208 East 37th St., Suite 10, Boise, Idaho 83714. They can also e-mail me at mgudgus@yahoo.com to arrange a pickup. If anyone has any questions about the donation of cans they can also contact Camille Ramsey at St. Lukes. Thanks much dave, every can will help.
Best Regards,
Mike
