Also - Matt Jackson, Carlos B Jones and Steven Ayres were in on Sunday and sounded great. Really a nice different sound. These guys used to play when we first opened, but if you haven't heard them recently, make a point of catching them this month. If not here, one of their other gigs around town.

Great New Happy Hour
OK -
I hate to say it ... but I love the new Happy Hour Menu.. It's closer to what I feel 129 1/2 is about, and what people expect when dining with us.

If you have some ideas for me - jsut let me know. blbcorners@cableone.net

The weekend ...
What a great, and interesting weekend. I spent quite a bit of time surfing the web and checking out some other local Prescott blogs - there is really some great and interesting stuff out there. Alot of it funny and thought provoking too.
I started to wonder where they get the time to do those things, and why...
But anyhoo ... great weekend at 129 1/2 - just got in a bit ago, and have to admit that Rosemary and Frankie Chavez, along with Jack Petersen and Scottich Brian were way too much fun! Jack and Brian have this great chemistry where they just egg each other on - everyone loved it and stayed through an extra set. They are gonna be back every Saturday through March - but if you come in to hear 'em
- don't leave before the final set so you can hear "On Broadway" - tons of fun.
Tomorrow it's soup sunday at El Gato - Dinner at 129 1/2 with The Jackson Jones Trio - what a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Soup ... then a lite dinner and upbeat Jazz
Almost through January ... and hangin' in there!
Have a great one, and be sure to check us out for Lunch at 129 1/2 next week
- if you haven't been - you don't know what your missin'.
