i'm trying to think of a bar-only bar that's not 21+ and i'm not coming up with anything

hell, there's a new bar in durham that's 26+

3/10/2010 2:38:33 AM

I dunno I'm just saying shit.

There's a greenville place called 5th street that seems like a bar bar that i've been to (I'm 20 =/).

RIP Jackpot?!?!?!?! http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/7208768/

BRING ON THE COLLARED SHIRTS!

3/10/2010 6:27:55 PM

Shit I have worn a collared shirt to Jackpot many a times. Perhaps I have been loathed and just not noticed it, but I don't believe so. If anything, I've always seen Jackpot as the kind of place where you can pretty much wear whatever the fuck you want. One of the more diverse crowds I've seen at a bar.

I swear that place looks straight out of The 'burbs.

3/10/2010 6:45:38 PM

I doubt it's going anywhere

3/10/2010 7:19:58 PM

I'll be honest, I only ever went to Jackpot with girls I was trying to sleep with until a few months ago and I still don't really like it.

I think my boyfriend has graffiti about him in one of the girls' bathrooms though! I should investigate this more fully.

"FMW has filed for rezoning of the 6.7 acres that the company has been assembling since May 2007 for the project. It acquired the former Bolton Corp. headquarters building and warehouses on Ashe Avenue in 2007 and later acquired the IHop restaurant and several other parcels nearby. Based on the city’s calendar, the zoning proposal to allow for residential development could go to a public hearing in July."

alright you can wear a collared shirt now

3/10/2010 11:26:42 PM

yes.

because no one cares what you are wearing.

3/10/2010 11:38:32 PM

yeah, that's true




i dunno i guess just personally i'd feel out of place there if i were all top o the hill'ed out you know

Yeah I was at Toast last weekend and noticed a sign on the door of Whiskey reading "25 and under not admitted". Thought that was a little odd, though I guess it's effective at keeping out the college crowd.

I've already made note of my desire that the old green house be saved, but it should also be said that the apartment building across Ashe from Jackpot is a damn cool building too. I hope it gets spared, though Crosland's developments don't seem to be very good at blending in with existing buildings--they're more of the "bulldoze an acre or three and build from the ground up" type of developer, at least based on their local projects that I've seen.

3/10/2010 11:50:25 PM

thats because no one gives a shit. everyone thinks everyone is looking at them if they have a polo shirt on (HEAVEN FORBID A POLO SHIRT AHHHH), but really no one cares that much about strangers they don't know.

if you act annoying, people might look at you. but it isn't because of your attire.

3/10/2010 11:51:13 PM

I wish I had it in me to go right now

He does. It's nothing scandalous if I remember correctly.

My name and number is up there, too. I'd really like to know who wrote it.

^ heh, thanks. I love dj bingo!

3/12/2010 2:03:30 AM

After i pinched you we played pool, you provided me with not only a fine beer but also a M80. Before we could stage our M160 explosion you had to leave in a hurried fashion. I was so caught up in the fun we were having I forgot to get your number. if you happen to see this respond for an exiting adventure. PEACE "

3/22/2010 5:05:58 PM

the dj there on st patricks day wasnt good, was that someone here? the dj last first friday was awesome.

3/22/2010 5:35:12 PM

miles does every first friday

i dunno who was st pats.

3/22/2010 5:36:22 PM

brian

3/22/2010 5:41:13 PM

aww brian was st pats

then i'm sure he did not suck

(i was not there)

3/22/2010 5:42:44 PM

Meh, I doubt he would care. Brian plays what he likes, not what pleases others. I think he has a style that you either like it or you don't and there isn't much between. I know enough people must like it because I can't stop in to say hi to him without having at least one person come up and say how awesome they think it is.

3/22/2010 6:02:33 PM

yes i believe vinylbandit was there the saturday before st pats, i did not much care for the music, but oh well, had i wanted to hear the standard white people dance mix again i could have gone to alibi. i enjoyed myself regardless.

btw did alibi close? i was there a month ago and someone told me it closed since then

[Edited on March 22, 2010 at 6:03 PM. Reason : []]

3/22/2010 6:02:36 PM

i know. i saw him for a hot minute on sat but i was tired so we didn't stayyyy. i told him you should come sometime while i'm there so we can hang (i didn't tell him that sat but it was recently).

some people dislike eric, too. people def bitch at him sometimes when he is djing.

but i don't think brian or eric care about those peeps haha.

3/22/2010 6:03:01 PM

the people that used to own Kings bought the building that Alibi is in, so it is closed until they figure out what is going in there

3/22/2010 6:15:01 PM

when i have tried to go to Alibi the last couple of months....uh.....let's just say it got more urban

3/22/2010 6:16:18 PM

^^^^^ i feel like i might have had this convo with someone was it you? i dunno i always have it when drinking. i think it might have been bartender jeramy. but i'm glad you agree haha.

^ i liked it. are you scared of black people or something? when i went for their last night it was a very eclectic group and it was really fun.

[Edited on March 22, 2010 at 6:17 PM. Reason : .]

yes, i am so scared of black people that i used to be married to one

3/22/2010 6:18:52 PM

ohhhh i forgot you are so popular i'm supposed to know everything about you

it did get really "urban" but i still liked it

3/22/2010 6:20:29 PM

just shut up

3/22/2010 6:21:20 PM

Alibi became a place for black coke dealers in its last 6 months

3/22/2010 6:23:01 PM

^^ no

^ true
