The Urban Core

What hasn't been said about Mark's on a Tuesday this year? Besides Obama wins it all? Come on already. Come on and watch the results that is. I think its $1 pbr and $3 jager and $2 pints domestica and what have you. At least one flat screen on election coverage.

Or you can sit on the comfy sofas and watch tourists (yes we have them, conventioneers really) request Flo-Rida. Thankfully I only spin records. I usually toss on some Frank Black and the Catholics, loud, and thats that.

Then the real talent takes over, Brian V and Cathartic. Except tonight its just Cathartic. I think he may have a guest or two tonight. I am out next week so its your last gritty analog maestro for a while.

So even better is Wednesday. Its the Players Ball Art Walk at the Landing (everyones 19th hole) during Art Walk. There is also a great car show at Hemming Plaza. These will be must sees along with the rest of The Art Walk.

The Museum of Science & History - Southbank - Featuring "The MOSH Juke Joint Jam, Where Music & History Meet." Calling all blues musicians to bring their electric or acoustic instrument to jam. MOSH will provide the back line.

AT&T Tower - Featuring the watercolor and oil paintings of award-winning realism artist Ted Head. Register to win one of his watercolors at the 2nd floor refreshment table. View jewelry inspired by the natural magnificence of semi-precious stones and gems designed by Holly and Katrina Middleton. Stop by and sample the delicious fruit of Edible Arrangements.

The Official Art Walk After Party at The Twisted Martini. Turn in your flyer at the door for a complimentary premium cocktail, bottled or draft beer, glass of house wine, or the featured martini of the day. Must be 21 or older with proper ID and attire.

I can see the Mayor's office, Ted Head, jammers, gearheads, and roller derby girls all at an afterparty. But I think it would be this one.
