Bouquet to become Bucket?-Update

March 29th, 2008

The Morning paper is reporting that they Bouquet at will not become the Bucket.  Also it won’t be a big surprise to anyone that has been in the basement. There will not be a Speakeasy below. Boisee is thinkin’ that access would have almost certainly required an ADA sized elevator. Not the spiral staircase which currently gets you to the dungeon!

Thanks to Buddha John for being the last newspaper reader.

The bar next to Mac & Charlie’s is going to move toward Jazz. Changing their targeting statement to “Gusto’s A Boise Jazz Venue.”

Seems an odd fit for the sister bar of M&C’s but you gotta love anyone downtown doing LIVE music.
509 Main, Boise, ID. 83702

BTW when I walked by after the Mike Zito show last night at maybe 12:30. They bar was blasting a very heavy hip hop beat. No jazz!!

Monday Follies-Idaho-Jeff Foxworthy

March 24th, 2008

THIS IS WHAT JEFF FOXWORTHY HAS TO SAY ABOUT IDAHOANS !

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t
work there, you live in Idaho.

If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Idaho.

If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed
the wrong number, you live in Idaho.

If “vacation” means going anywhere south of Salt Lake City for the
weekend, you live in Idaho.

If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho.

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you
live in Idaho.

If you have switched from “heat” to “A/C” and back again in the same
day, you live in Idaho.

If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both
unlocked, you live in Idaho.

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging
blizzard without flinching, you live in Idaho.

If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you
live in Idaho.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph –you’re going 80, and
everyone is still passing you, you live in Idaho.

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled
with snow, you live in Idaho.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Idaho.

If you find 10 degrees “a little chilly” you live in Idaho.

If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your
IDAHO friends, you live in Idaho

Thanks to freind D H for foward this to me.

So Sad-Kathy Kendall

March 22nd, 2008

Sad news, one of downtowns best is gone. . . former Piper Pub manager Tim Kendall posted this news. . .

Not sure what the best way to get a hold of you, hope this works. Kathy Kendall, A bartender during the time the Piper Pub was a very special place passed away March 16th. She won over all of the regulars, at that time, and was determined to make everyone have fun. I know quite a few people who read this daily either worked or knew Kathy. Your site is great and is fun to read. She did pour you a few! The cause of her death was due to a very wicked infection in her blood that caused, among other things, complete renal failure. There will be a memorial web site - www.kathykendall.net set up in the next few days. Thanks!
Tim

Tim was kind enought to send along these wonderful pictures of Kathy.

Thanks Tim, our thoughts are with you.
