I am the only one who doesn't really like the Treme tv show?<br />I know it means well,there's just something about it that bugs me, I can't put my finger on it, but I can't find a charachter on the show who doesn't annoy me in someway except the tombone player.....although Kermit Ruffins as himself is pretty cool (he should be featured more) and it's always good to see Rio Hackford, again, his part should be bigger.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-26115764445961973922010-06-28T16:22:13.316-04:002010-06-28T16:22:13.316-04:00Say it ain't so!

My own equivalent, the scuzzily beautiful Colony Rooms in Soho, London, is dead and gone, its owner, Polish punk Michael Wojas, buried last week with a huge riotous party.

I remember being in the Shim-Sham one night and Antoinette just walked past and the whole bar gave her an immediate round of applause, just for being Antonette. How I love things as they used to be. <br /><br />ColinColinDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283835326364631989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-69623888557142936452010-06-23T15:51:57.652-04:002010-06-23T15:51:57.652-04:00Sad, if not, unexpected news.

Antoinette kept the vibe and spirit going for years after Ernie died, even if the strange interior decorating was lost in Katrina. I spent countless happy nights there incl. the turn of the millennium with the Emperor. He had no champagne at the bar and I had three warm bottles of Johnny Rocket that I'd brought down from NYC. I gladly offered them up to Ernie which he in turn charged us for. Ha ha, it was that kind of move that made me love it all the more. There's a lot more to say here (about NOLA and the bar biz in gen.), but prob. it's not the time other than to say that, like you, I've wasted a lot of time bars--and tended bar all over (incl. my 30th b-day at the Mother-in-Law)--and this place stands taller than the rest. As for N.O., well, it needs you more than ever. Things have changed, but that's what they do. But N.O. still retains more character and spirit in one square block than most places do in entire counties. And for whatever reasons, the ghosts do linger there, but it's only b/c they don't wanna leave.The Chiefnoreply@blogger.com
