Tweety is handling New Haven crowd quite well.

[longship]

He even has Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) there to speak for Lamont.

Crowd is very respectful. Both Lamont and Lieberman viewpoints represented. Will continue to watch it as long as it's like this.

Just thought people would want to know this. Normally I can't stand WiffleBall with Tweety, but this isn't too bad.

Can't wait for Olbermann.

The Elm City is a great place!

I'll be down there in a few hours! :bounce:

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. In spite of Bush being born there. But then again so was I....

[bigwillq]

10. In spite of you being born there too....

:P :)


I love New Haven. I work and play there. Heading down there around nine and go to my fave watering hole to watch results.

:bounce:

[Midlodemocrat]

21. As was I.

Went to school there as well. Great place. I miss it.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. he senses change in the air, ergo, must be fair.

I agree with your analysis, by the by.

[Chi-Town Exile]

2. Tweety still sucks! eom

[patricia92243]

3. Believe it or not - this is the first time I have ever seen Jim Dean. I

don't think he looks like Howard - they do sound alike though.

[bigwillq]

6. They sound so alike.

I think they look alike a bit.

[Fleshdancer]

4. I just turned on his show...

and HOLY COW! Jim Dean sounds EXACTLY like Howard Dean...freaky.

[leftchick]

5. I don't think KO is on tonight

:(

[thepurpose]

7. Howard's brother does sound just like him he even has the same manner

[danalytical]

9. Too bad I'm in Hartford

Sounds like fun. If I were over there in New Haven I would moon the camera and then go to Toads Place. WOOHOOO!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. Too bad Toad's Place is gone.

It would have made a great place for a Lamont party.

[danalytical]

12. Toads isn't gone.

It's right where has always been. It's my favorite rock Club in CT. The Pizza next door is to die for too. MMMMMM!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

17. That's great news!

I had heard it was gone. I haven't been there in quite a while, but I have been there many times when bands I worked for played there.

Once, I was in the dressing room and Ian Hunter walked in. I shat myself. ;-)

[bigwillq]

13. Toad's is still alive and kicking.

It's a cool place even though it smells. Seriously, it always stinks in that place.

[danalytical]

14. LOL

Lots of groupies and spilled beer. I played that place once and actually got one of the infamous "band rooms". It was so freakin cool, I felt like a rock star. Even if only 10 people watched us play during our shitty 7pm timeslot.

[bigwillq]

15. That's so cool!

Good for you!

I am not a big "band" fan. I only go to Toad's when they have their dance party nights. I haven't been in awhile though.

:hi:

[danalytical]

16. Ewww dance parties?

Yuck, I'm a rocker baby. Hope it's fun for you though. ;)

[bigwillq]

19. Yup, i'm a club kid

dancing boy! :bounce:

It is fun. As I'm sure your rock and roll is for you!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

18. Do you appreciate...

How many man-milleniums of spilled drinks and puke made that smell? ;-)

[bigwillq]

20. I do appreciate it

but it still smells. :)

[danalytical]

22. I have contributed many spilled drinks myself.

Luckily no barf though. Although I bet I know people who did. I really dig that place. It feels like a museum/rock club.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

23. Jeebus...It's hard to explain.

The things, the people, the incredible nights of music, the illicit sex that has taken place in the bathrooms and the storerooms, all that has made the history of the place. ;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

24. My band opened for none other than the Boss there back in the day.

He was so nice to us I will never forget it.

But, you're right, that place has always smelled.

[bigwillq]

25. Way too cool!

Glad you agree about the odor! :) :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. It's the only thing that keeps my kids from thinking I am a total dork.

They say I'm 'too political'. As. If. There's no such thing on DU.

:hi:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

27. I used to work for a band called "Blackfoot".

At one time, they lived on a farm outside of Princeton NJ, and would have a regular jam session on Tuesday night. One night this scruffy guitar player, with big hair, from Freehold NJ came out to the farm to jam.

Guess who.

Yes, he was playing that Esquire back then, too.
