Awww, thanks lover :-D

Yer welcome, dude. Share my tunes with others. Spread the word.

Oh, smoochie.

I want to thank Jon too for turning me on to the Dropkick Murphys. They are fantastic; I bought their CD; I gave it to my son and he loves them as well. Yay metachat music!

Was it this one? (recorded live in Southie on St. Paddy's, the rabid response to "Dirty Water," is something to hear)

This one. I found it used & it is really awesome.

If you're in IRC tonight, I'll YSI you "Dirty Water." It's a gem. They also do a great live cover of "Nutty," (The Boston Bruins theme). They have a lotta hometown pride.

I might be in IRC - my brother's in town so we're going out tonight to the bar conveniently located across from the laundromat (multi tasking: not just a job, a way of life) but I'll probably be home fairly early. I love Tessie - the last song, it's a paean to all things Red Sox, it's so cool.

Heh. The infamous sports dive where I encountered the sexed up junkie at the ATM, the underwearless drunk old woman, and the Dylan-harmonizing aging greasers is across from my laundromat. God bless laundry bars.

This is my local and laundromat bar. It would be better if you could smoke inside, though.

Mine is nowhere near that classy. And we smoke inside illegally. The bartender usually puts aplastic tumbler of water in front of you if you smoke as an ashtray.

Man, there used to be a laundromat/bar in Knoxville TN that was THE PUNKEST place I'd ever been, before or since. I'd grown up in the DC scene where shows were pretty organized events. What took place on that stage in Knoxville was pure drunken mayhem, and they had the best nachos on earth.

I dont remember what it was called, the only possible reference I can find via google is to "Harvey Washbangers" but that doesn't ring a bell (of course that doesn't mean much). I do remember my favorite band that used to play there was called Barbed Wire Shiela.

Damn, now nostalgia has overtaken me...I might have to take this search to AskMe.

I love how a Thank You to Metachatters post turns into a reminiscence on dodgy laundromat bars. Ah, the vagaries of the internet. Cheers, JonMc, GothLaundry (now clean), and DanaStupor for this amusing sidetrack.

Gryphon's!!! Yay, I remembered it in the middle of the night.

Thank you, Sticky T (may I call you Sticky T?)...for helping remind me of those memories.

Lipstick? Can you take this laundry down now? Makes it really hard to drive, and I need to go to the store.

"Sticky T?" Okay, I'm officially a rap star now.

Sorry, Mudpup. Here - (takes laundry off antlers).

Attention Metachatters - Sticky T's debut joint, entitled "The Antler Pink Super Specklet Puppie Mudd Sessions, remixed by Dame Matilda and MCJon" hits the stores next week. Booyah!
