“Don’t you know who I am!?”

“No. Well, you’re obviously some sort of arsehole, aren’t you?”

Has The Avenue jumped the shark?

Been waiting for a while to visit this place - heard only good things about the food, the incredible beer selection… maybe I caught them on an off day, but went the other evening and was made to feel about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.

Asked to a beer - none of the taps were working, tried four times but no dice, barman had a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle and ended up just walking away and serving someone else.

We cut a sharp exit - in a town where you have the best service industry folks in the world, it hits hard when you get treated like shit.

Just a bad night or is this the vibe here now?

SHOMER SHAVUOT!!!

From my local gym. Friday is Shavuot, the Jewish day celebrating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit DON’T FUCKING ROLL!!!

Sending love to you all today…

Nine years ago today since the world lost one of its most beautiful, talented, precious souls. Still feels like a death in the family - and the circumstances of his passing still hurt so deeply.

I was lucky enough to see Chris play in 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland - got front row seats and shook his hand at the end of the gig… don’t think I washed it for weeks afterwards. One of the best shows of my life.

We’re lucky to have had him and his otherworldly, soulful bellow in our lives - as the lyric goes, no-one sings like you anymore 😢

If you’re struggling, please reach out - to me, to a friend, to a helpline… don’t bottle it up, and remember that the world is always infinitely more beautiful with you in it, whether you feel that way or not ❤️

Just moved Uptown and acquired this very cute - but 100% not “us” - iron sculpture from the previous owners.

Would love to give it away to a school or family who can display it and make sure Dotty keeps making people smile.

You’ll need a truck or trailer to pick her up, she’s about 5ft in height and wide - I’ll give to anyone who can pick her up this week and share what their plans are for displaying her!

No timewasters please - this lady deserves a good new home!

Uptown pickup near Magazine and Napoleon - will give to the first person who can commit to picking up Saturday or Sunday. You’ll need a pickup or trailer, it’s big but in great condition.

Unfortunately life has got in the way of our JF plans this year so we can’t make it - rather than go on the resale sites, I figured we’d sell at a discount to someone who’ll appreciate them.

$600 obo, pickup on Wed or Thu from Uptown - hit me up if interested!
