Jeff Liberty Plays at Lulabelles Fri. April 3
Columbia, SC Coming to Lulabelle's for a repeat performance
Friday April 3, 2009 (outside if the weather's right) 7PM
(just off Harbison Blvd. across the street from Ryan's)
Jeff Liberty will be playing the blues again at Lulabelles. For all of you that missed this performer the last time around you have another chance to listen to the hot scorching blues; played by Columbia's best blues man; Mr. Jeff Liberty! If you have heard him before, you know what I am talking about. This guy can really play that guitar and sing, too. I was truly blown away by his original songs as well as his performances of blues favorites.
You have to hear "Girl Next Door" or "It Feels Like Rain" and you too will be blown away by such sheer genius. Jeff keeps the audience as he switches gears to a funny little dialectic he wrote about an obsessive woman; "If you ain't crazy, why do you go crazy, every time; I call you crazy?" This is done in a fun light hearted way and Jeff does a little narrative setting the song up. Another one he sets up well through narrative his true to life song called; "Disturbin' the Peace". To sample Jeff Liberty's music and see what all the excitement is about check out his website at http://www.jeffliberty.com/
See ya' at Lulabelles.
Yours truly;

Columbia Late Night Food in the Vista; NOT
Okay, occassionally even the most positive girl you know has a pet peeve and here is mine; delivered hopefully with a sense of humor and nostalgia. Hope it makes you laugh and if not; oh well; too bad.
Columbia SC Vista downtown; I have one pet peeve. You see the other night, Tuesday night me and a friend had gone to the poetry slam at Art Bar and we both wanted to get a bite to eat, after. Well, we knew restaurants closed early on week nights so we left about 9:30 PM, thinking we still had about a half hour to get something to eat. We went by a couple places including a pizza place which by all rights should be open until 11 PM and found everything was closed. We ended up at the IHOP. Okay; it was a Tuesday night.
It reminded me of an incident from a few years ago. Me and a couple friends had been to the play Oklahoma; on Memorial weekend 2005. Being a bit nostalgic and running into the same dilemma again in 2009...jogged my memory. True this is a real pet peeve if it continues to plague me; surely others are aggravated by this as well.
We are in the Vista in the capital city on Memorial weekend I thought surely the wings place would be open. Oh yes; we got in the front door; but what's this; the kitchen is closed. It's not even 11Pm and there are two guys standing behind us; they over hear this and ask me; where can we get something to eat? That clearly translates into 5 customers lost and that was only in the one minute window of time; who knows how many people really wanted to eat at 10:45 on a Saturday night of Memorial weekend in Columbia SC, vista downtown?
I thought for sure the wine and tapas place would be serving until at least 1 AM being a Saturday night and all. I told the two guys that and off they went. We too, decided what the heck ; tapas was better than nothing ; but no; as we arrived our two guys (who were actually quite loaded) said they were told the place was closing. We checked with the place anyway, noticing their mental state and sure enough the place was closing. UGH!
Now; I am really upset. We had rushed to the play running late from some other artistic venue and not only was I starving, so were my friends. So it's IHOP; that's it. No other choices? There is something pretty pathetic about a capital city closing up the sidewalks on a holiday weekend so you can't even get a decent meal unless you fit into the magic window of timing. Note to self; must remember eating time has to be before 10:30PM.
NEW note to self on weeknights must eat by 9PM if planning to be at an event in the Vista.
I rea lize this may not be a big deal to many people, but for someone that eats out for most every meal; it is a real big deal. If I cannot find a place to eat; it's not like I can go home and cook something decent. My choices at home are cereal and microwave so by comparision IHOP looks pretty good!
With Love and Gratitude;
yours truly,
Jeanee

Artists Needed The City of West Columbia is seeking twenty-five local visual artists to exhibit/sell during this year's festival. We are seeking talented individuals to participate in the 3rd Annual Riverwalk Music Festival, a free concert and art show. Last year, brought together local, established musicians and gifted artists in a beautiful atmosphere. Join us this year to be part of a dynamic, cultural experience.

The Artist's Courtyard will be set up in the paved parking lot area. Space is limited to twenty-five artists, so please reserve your place as slots are filling quickly. The City of West Columbia will provide a light refreshment area for the artists. Artists are encouraged to work on site. We encourage artists to sell prints, however, all artwork at the festival must be “G” rated, suitable for children to view, as this venue is open to the public. The fee for this year's event is $20 and a table will be provided though you may bring an extra one if your merchandise demands additional display area. Due to space limitation, tables must be no bigger than 6 feet long. Space is limited and payment will secure your spot. Artists who are interested in participating need to send a sample of their artwork via email or provide a website address for viewing. Some artists have needed to meet with me in person and I am happy to make arrangements if necessary.
