Hey all...turns out a Peace-Sign Wreath is a sign of Christmas; PEACE on EARTH!
GOOD MORNING...IT'S FRIDAY!
The week has been a blur. Yesterday, I would have posted Wednesday night country, if NOT for Char's post.
Yesterday morning...the thermometer read 67 degrees when I ventured out of the driveway without a coat, and my favorite rose colored sunglasses. It was sunny, warm, and light traffic headed west on the Ohio Turnpike, a road warrior's dream.
I WAS making great time, Toledo was only two exits away.
Good Lord...I had time for Starbucks at the turnpike plaza. Kibitzing with all the other suits waiting in line for the best coffee known to mankind...I did NOT see the black clouds rolling in, the temp dropped 30 degrees in 20 minutes. I merged right into torrential rain mixed with sleet and hail. OMG...it was horrendous, and the trip back was worse! The outpouring from the sky let up a little, but the fog, wind, pooled water on the roadway and truck splash. Winter is here...

Tonight at Wolstein Center/CSU: Martina McBride's The Joy of Christmas.
Doors open at 7:30 PM.
Tickets still available
Ticket prices: $59.50 / $49.50 –
Char - It was absolutely our pleasure! We're glad you had such a good time. Happy B-day!
Good Lord...it's almost 11:30 on Saturday night.
Funny thing is I looked up who was where this morning...even wrote it down. How does an entire day get away from me you ask?
Let's see...being married to a musician, followed by domestic responsibilities, a to-do list that NEVER ends and the required Saturday mid-afternoon nap.
Tonight we did NOT see;
Black River Band @ The Dog House
Conestoga @ Army/Navy
Curtis Brothers @ The Lamplighter
Kentucky Thunder @ ACE's
Lawless @ Stampers
Marshall Law @ Czonka's
Relentless @ The Shamrock
Silver Spur @ Wadsworth Eagles
Vicious Cycle @ Sheehan's
Mr. Webster and I went to see BOND...James Bond.
Casino Royale follows the original novel very closely, and is worth seeing. OH...and the NEW Bond, Daniel Craig, is "easy on the eyes" and make Roger, Sean and Pierce look pretty lame.

Willoughby Brewing Co. has NOT updated their entertainment schedule for December. Good Luck to who ever is there tonight...it's been tough gig for most bands due to paltry attendance.
The GAC Country Music Christmas Tour will feature Deana Carter, Julie Roberts, Blue County and Steve Azar...and NOW Bucky Covington.
Web, Web, Web...
I have to correct you on this one. Willoughby's been pretty good for most of the bands according to the club and when I'm there to see it. It's a great place that is growing into country music slowly, but very steadily.
Just thought I'd chime in on that.
Word is many of the bands have been sent home early...maybe Lawless is the exception?
December 4, 2006
Monday already...UGH!
Looking forward to 500 Miles to Memphis arrival/first gig in Cleveland later this week.
Everyone plays until 11:30 at Willoughby now. They noticed that it was an early crowd, so unlike a lot of clubs they changed the format a little. The crowd gets there around 6:30/7:00 for a dance lesson and starts to disperse gradually starting at 10:30. I wish more clubs would format around their crowds. Friday and Saturday are gimme's for establishments. The rest of the week is hit or miss but most places don't even bother to look at the fact that crowds are thin by 1am on a work/school night.
Is everybody ready for Christmas?
Oooops, I mean "The Holidays"! (LOL)
(That's so stupid)
JD- HA. I got the kid done ALMOST.. few more lil things.. got the lil nephews/neices picked up.. Now its the older kids and the adult gift exchanges.. my family needs to quit reproducing LOL..

Nakked - My sentiments exactly! Every time I turn around, someone just has to expand their family! I can't even keep up anymore. Going to get my tree one night this week. Not a "holiday" tree either, but a CHRISTMAS tree. lol

Tonight is the much anticipated arrival of 500 Miles to Memphis to the Cleveland market. Recent winners of the Cincy City Music Awards, with mounting accolades of their tour/new releases...the stop in Cleveland at The Town Fryer should be a hoot for Mr. Webster and I.
500 Miles to Memphis was one of the first featured Cleveland Country Blogspot artist "friends" from MySpace. BTW: Ryan, I will NOT be donning the red feathers.
Also TONIGHT;
Curtis Brothers...ACE's
Saddle Ridge...Renegade
The Savannah...Joy Ride
Hey tell Ryan that Tim from Woodshed Mercy says hi, I met them 2 yrs. ago when they played with us at Club Chameleon in Kent. It was 100 degree in the club no A/C!!
Renegade is a rock band from the Brunswick area that has been around since the 80's. I've never seen them, so that's all I know.
Ive heard of Renegade.. LOL@brunswick.. I drove by the old Club 42 over the weekend.. Remember that joint? LOL

A special thank-you to 500 Miles to Memphis for getting the show started an hour early for the "ole" folks. LOL! We will catch ya again this summer in Kentucky.
The Town Fryer is EVERY bit as touted in reviews. Quaint, delightful staff, AWESOME food...and their Dalmatian that has his/her own bar stool.

Many hellos my friend!
I agree...the smoking ban was not the best thought out legislation.
I think we should launch our own petition to repeal/modify the law.
YOU in?
Fat Fish Blue is NOT exactly a smokers haven...maybe less than half. What I noticed was people became restless after they ate...they wanted a cigarette.
Fat Fish lost a bundle of money last night.
The group of "bachelorette" girls were reluctant to stand 20 feet from the club "dressed to the nines" in the downtown winter chill on Ontario at 10:30 PM. They voted to take their hummer stretch limo to a liquor store and continue the party where they could smoke...at home! In a blink of an eye 18 women with plenty of cash for pretty drinks with fruit hailed their ride and were GONE.

For the smokers amongst us....
I found out last night that Ace's is not planning on pulling the ashtrays til after the first of the year, if then. All the confusion regarding enforcement has most establishments re-thinking their bans. I still don't understand why I can't smoke while working in an auto parts store. Surely gas fumes, burning rubber (and who knows what else) from the machine shop, and the general aroma of the room CAN'T be better than my cigarette!!
Well...hot damn, ACE's is still smoking...smart move! Mr. Webster has reported that Sheehan's has NOT removed their ashtrays. The two advocate non-smokers there are pitching a fit. Is Fat Boys still smoking? Mr. Webster has a private event at a Hilton after the first of the year, they have confirmed it will be a smoking event. It is very confusing. Molly sent me a great link; Ohio goes smokefree??? this morning.
I guess the whole idea is to get Ohioans to stop smoking. Probably NOT a bad idea, but some things in life I don't want controlled by the government.
If the majority were really committed to our well being...we would all have decent, affordable health care services, less...MORE toxic airborne toxins than second hand smoke spewing into our environment.
The medical and insurance community/industry have a vested interest in healthier human beings. The ballot initiative to ban smoking was well funded.
There wasn't a whole lot of people or corporate sponsors parading on TV touting the benefits of smoking.
So...in theory I understand the concept. The execution of the idea is...well NOT so good. It feels like a right has been removed. Yes...I understand it was a majority vote. I am accepting of non-smoking establishments, designated smoking areas, and banned smoking in MOST public/work places.
Nightclubs, restaurants, casinos, racetracks, bowling allies, and private clubs should be able to choose to be SMOKING.
ME: It's the right of the business owner and his customers (internal and external) to determine if removal of ashtrays and declaration of NO-SMOKING signage on the front door and above every urinal is the way they want to conduct/maintain their business.
Furthermore, I'll quit when I am ready. I fully support any effort to repeal or modify this piece of crap legislation...
You can still smoke at Fat Boys. They're not planning to pull the ashtrays until the law can sucessfully be enforced.

For those of you that follow along routinely. I have been posting on several threads. Some things, in my opinion need to be repeated/reposted or be separated from the most current thread.
BTW; I am thinking about the December 2005 archive. Bet I find some doozies there.
Mr. Webster has been blabbing about FOOT all morning. Sorry, I was NOT at Sheehan's last night to hug ya! Before Christmas...I promise!
I could NOT be puffy this morning and had a bazillion things on the TO-DO list. Saturday night at home has an upside...free time on Sunday afternoon. Gotta head start on the towel and linen laundry last night. One bathroom down...two to go!
Our Christmas tree still isn't out of the basement. I am easily distracted by the boxes of ornaments my children made, and the 25 YO holiday macaroni art.

Lawless @ Willoughby Brewing
One of the disadvantages of being "Godfather", elder statesman, or just the old guy, is that I seem to be the one that always brings the sad news.
Friday, December 8, we lost another great friend and musician... Rich Worgull. Rich played lead guitar with me in Sundown & the TCB Band along with his own band Brushfire. He was a true original and lived his life on his terms. After having a quintuple bypass about 15 years ago, he told me "I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of not living!"
Visitations will be Monday December 11. Go to cleveland.com/obits for details.
Hey Web...I could really use that hug!
Foot
So sorry to hear about your friend, and fellow country musician. I found the announcement and guestbook.

Good Morning...it's SAD morning.
A member of the country music community will be laid to rest today. Peace and prayers to his family and friends. Loss at the holidays is especially difficult.
A special "I am thinking of YOU" for FOOT...and a hug is yours. Mr. Webster and I will see ya soon.
I think we left off at seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five GOLD rings, four Colly birds, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

What are you doing with all the birds your true love gave you?

Is the country frontman ad for Heartland or do you think it's for Lawless?
rubyking
yes
Frankley
IT IS NOT for Lawless lol
No idea who the ad is for I'm pretty darn sure it's NOT for Lawless. My guess would be Whiskey Bent. Nah....
This is a great link!

I would have guessed Heartland.

December 14, 2006
Good Morning
As far as I can tell, there is no longer Thursday night country. Crazy Rita's was the first to dump "country night", followed by Slim & Chubby's, and most recently the Sly Fox...even Lawless was sent home early.
Less than a year ago...ya could find country every night of the week, except Mondays. What happened? First...the market was flooded with options...maybe even over-kill. Second...the shared country music fan base. Third or First...the economics.
Hopefully, the scene will SPRING back after the winter thaw.
This market is cyclical, just like everything else. I predicted it 6 months ago. The same thing happened when I first started playing. You could gig 5 nights a week and then the bottom dropped out.
I do think the economy and market saturation are the two biggest factors.
I would be looking for changes to come at a few other venues as well. If all that's being talked about comes to fruition, there could be some upset camps out there.
Word of advice to some would be that if you're gonna keep biting the hand that feeds, eventually you will starve. Quite a few hands are ready to pull away after being bitten a couple times.
So...the answer to the question; "Do I have an opinion about JDH's opinion?"...ah huh.
Sure I do!
NOT sure who is feeding who, or why the snipping continues...it just does. It's safe to say the "L" clash is alive and well.
Can't say that I have first hand knowledge that JDH predicted the market 6 months ago. The message I heard first hand...Lawless would prevail.

Isn't it about time you got over yourselves. Your band is no different than any other band out there right now. Until you actually make a move in the upwards direction, you are just another bar band.
It's nice to see Willoughby Brewing trying out a Sat. country night.
Another venue who clearly plays favorites may just want to go all the way and have themselves a "house" band.
I am waiting to see if Willoughby books country on a Saturday night again.
Frankley - What's to get over? We are a really good bar band, I agree. I also agree that it's all we'll ever be until we get out of this town and bring on someone to help get us to the next level. If that ever happens, who knows.
P.S. We have 2 dates at WBC on Saturday's, so technically they will have it back again.
December 16, 2006
...eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five GOLD rings, four Colly birds, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
The written word can be so easily misconstrued. After a little bit of investigating the "hand-biting" could be venue related.
I'll just throw it out there...Saddle Ridge is NOT playing nice and EVEN Lawless got screwed. Ya wouldn't know it by their blog...
TIP of the DAY: When in doubt, get the details in writing BEFORE ya haul your rig down a flight of stairs.
OH...I stand firm on my statement that the "L" clash is alive and will continue despite public denials.

Whynner - Thanks for not speaking for me, but the band as a whole. By the by, it's biting, not bitting. That's a pet peeve of mine (spelling, grammer).
Web - C'mon, it's not a one man show. It is true that generally the public perceives a band by it's voice, but we do have 5 guys up there.
For the record, we will definitely be back at Willoughby on a Saturday as last night was really good.
Also for the record, the hand and back biting is pretty much being done by one individual from one band. It's such old news. It's been going on for a couple years now and will continue to until he realizes he's just NOT THAT GOOD.
ooops "grammar" sorry John I couldn't resist LOL.

Ugh...Monday morning!
How hard would you think it would be to find nine ladies dancing? Not very...took longer than I thought. Ya see, after eight maids a milking, there are umpteen versions of the song. Lords leaping, ladies dancing, pipers piping and drummers drumming can be any number between 9-12.
It's almost Christmas...I don't wish to engage in mud slinging or hand biting. Yes yes yes, I know I started it. Let's tentatively agree to be pleasant, and peaceful.
I have to agree with JDH and his statement: "just NOT THAT GOOD". I didn't really feel like going far on Sat. night so y'all might guess where I ended up. For one set. Talk about a "monotone" voice! No feeling whatsoever. Just my lowly opinion of course. My computer is down at home and NOW I see I could've went to Blue Moose!! Did NOT know the Curtis Brothers would be there on a Sat. night. I really would have gone for quality, had I known.
Awww...and I actually LIKE that Blue Moose!

WOW...am I glad to find Webster this morning. Webster was lost in space most of the day yesterday.
Did anyone else have trouble logging on?
Sara
I remember when you asked what the "mill" was. You are correct, despite imploring...Webster continues to be read daily by anyone that knows about it. I haven't sent out invitations to blog for weeks. Maybe, I should develop a Christmas card to send to my database. Given the numbers, people are logging on four and five times a day. Wouldn't it be ironic if I actually knew how & had the time to track and identify readers?
WHO WOULD MAKE THAT LIST!

Thanks for joining the "mill". Your post made it four times. I must delete three. Feel free to post the Whisky Bent schedule. As far as I know they do not have a website.

Please support your local businesses. You know... the little guy on the corner who has owned his shop for years. For example: Kentucky Thunder Brad owns Ron Zehl Guitar with stores in Avon and Amherst.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS? Let us know!
Also...if you have little ones visiting from the warmer states, you can pick up a gently used snow suit for less than $5 at unique thrift or goodwill.
Please support the charity of your choice during the holidays.
"toys for tots", "coats for kids" are probably the best known and throw your change into the red kettle.

Awwwwww...a trip down memory lane in the archives last night. Last year at this time, the bloggers were engaged in a full throttle food fight, JDH had just implored, Webster was banned from the Lawless group, and the site was "crashing".

Webster said...
Well...we are all still here, by the numbers...we are ALL still here.
Thank you to those of you who sent emails with helpful hints to save the site from crashing. For those of you studying mathematical logic...it's time to change your major.
As usual, there are people who wrote that do not want to be identified, and probably someone who forgot to ask not to be identified....THANK YOU!
Bonnie, Jen, Molly, and Marie3, I am hopeful to utilize all the suggestions offered over the weekend. THANK YOU!
I was reading feverishly, putting up firewalls, republishing the blog, saving the files, backing up my computer and actively putting to use everything I had just read, while the site was crashing or at least my interpretation of crashing. It looks like clevelandcountry.blogspot.com is stable for the time being. I don't have a message for those of you trying to crash the site. "oops"
Me...I am wondering why it was so important to keep the site from crashing. Especially recently!
NEW to the blog
Auditions for the syndicated shows are not being held here. There is no application process available at this site for the Jerry Sprenger show. This is NOT the CaTroom on Rodeo. Perhaps in your zealous pursuit of the last word, you missed the part about no swearing, no references to body types, and that grandma reads the blog. If your grandmother doesn't or wouldn't care if she were alive, then there is a problem. Everyone that posts on this blog can put sentences together, and can articulate their thoughts.
War of the words is a good thing when you choose the right words. You and your words are welcome.

OK...so you are NOT the official spokesperson for JDH. Funny thing though...your post regarding Saddle Ridge is ALMOST word for word the VM JDH left for me on Saturday morning.
Disco Inferno is a fun band! However, I thought all Wednesdays were going to be country nights at S/R.
I think Saddle Ridge is still having country on Wednesday night.
The website fails to mention it or the band this week. They are promoting Bellbottoms on their website...NOT country. The new disco is adjacent to Saddle Ridge, tonight is the Grand Opening.

Good Morning!
Foot
Ahhhhh...thank you, thank you, thank you! Tulsa Time, Marie, and Your Momma Can't Dance...all favorites! I perfected my chair dancing technique with Rebels & Rogues. LOL!
Molly
Merry Margarita to you.
NOT the best tasting margaritas in town...no salt, no lime!
We must tequila again...somewhere else next time.
ACE's
NOT the place...for small children.
We are NOT talking tweens line dancing with their parents. We are talking about women clutching a 1st grader in one hand a long-neck in the other.
PLENTYO tickets available for New Year's Eve. Many many many tickets available...in the hundreds.
timj
Thanks for the offer of MORE tequila...you have to catch me before the third one.
Great seeing you and Tim last night! Margaritas in some places are always a gamble. We'll have to get to Don Paublo's in the spring. Backwoods was great as always and it was good to see everyone.
Ahoy!
Thanks for comng out last night!
It's always a joy to see you and the Mister! Anytime I forget to do Marie, Tulsa, and the rest for you, you have my permission to SMACK me!
Molly & Web- I have access to the recipe for the PERFECT margarita as decided by Mr. Margarita himself!
Talk nice and I'll send it to you.
It was also great to see Timj and Mark in attendance. I think we had more fun after the gig than while we were playing! Thursdays? Hmmmmmmm.......
Lots going on for me this weekend. SO before I forget I'd like to wish you all a VERY HAPPY AND SAFE XMAS. !!!

FRIDAY...
Good Morning
Mr. Webster and I are on VACATION...together!
I've been busy in the archives. Too funny, the archives that is.
Also funny is that folks don't seem to recognize a re-post from the archives.
Mr. Hardy and I are NOT engaged in a NEW hissing match. It is ironic that he checks frequently to make sure we are NOT.
Relentless has had to cancel the weekend at the Wild West Saloon due to Rio losing his voice.
Heartland is reorganizing...again.
Stop in at Fat Boy's to see who Buck recruited for this weekend.
Black River Band is still in cyberspace hell.
The Curtis Brothers are on vacation until December 29th.
Lawless will be partying it up at Jewel's Dance Hall tomorrow night with my dear dear friend Roger McCoy from the BULL station formerly known as the home of "Clashing Country".
If you are looking for a COUNTRY New Year's Eve...it's slim pickens and VERY pricey. ACE's is a 140 bucks a couple featuring you know... Shula's/Sheraton has Relentless with several packages, starting at 109 a couple.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
Web - C'mon now! I don't check here to see if we're in a hissing match, I call the source. I'm excited for you and your new venture! Hope all goes well.
I do come here when I need to be amused though. Being a Gemini, coupled with my A.D.D., I need constant amusement and get bored very easily. My "fiance" (LMAO) will confirm that.
In the words of the infamous little guy "God Bless Us, every one".
Merry X-mas, Hannukha, Quanza and Rhamadhan.
Tim - Did I spell those last 2 right? (LMAO) (get your ass out to booze with us).
Molly - Rumor has it I may see you tonight?
Nekkid - Tequila? (We'll leave that one alone)
Frankley - Did you see the little tongue-in-cheek I left for you on our BLOG?
Char - You don't go boozing with your kids? What kind of mother are you? (LMAO)
Jay - Continued success to you and the boys!
Ziggy - Where ya been?
Foot - What else can I say? Love ya brother!
Mr. Webster - Are you still better off with the blues? We must harmonize in the near future.
CCF, LMAO and every other retard whose left such an indelible impression upon us with their wit and superior intelligence - We miss you all sooooooo much! NOT
Those campers that read and don't post - CHICKENS@%T'S (He's still NOT THAT GOOD and you KNOW IT!)
Well, well, well!
It looks like things are getting ready to heat up here again.
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!
For those of you who will be waiting for Foot to come in and calm everybody down and make everybody "Make Nice" (that one's for Web), don't hold your breath!
Foot has abandoned his Everybody is my friend attitude, and is now evaluating everyone's position in his world. There are very few who can be certain of their place, and you all know who they are.
So-- to all of you who deserve it,
I send my love and best wishes for Christmas.
To the rest of you...enjoy your Christmas break!
One has to ask what has the good natured, EVERYBODY is my friend, realTBfoot ready to unleash.
hmmmmmmmm, is it that NOT everybody is what they appear?
December 23, 2006
It's hard to believe it is Christmas Eve eve. I am grateful and pleasantly surprised we are abiding in relative peacefulness in the blogosphere.
After much discussion; Mr. Webster and I decided on the white ring tree that belongs in the front yard for the living room. Honestly...it's us.
Also we are plucking a scene right out of the Christmas story...NOT the manger one, the one with the leg lamp. We are going out for Chinese for Christmas dinner. One egg-roll or two...and a partridge in a pear tree.
A gold medal winner bottle of Cabernet sauvignon, grilled steaks, Mr Webster and a my choice of chick flicks for a Saturday night at home. Yippy Skippy!

I want to see a picture with your NEW collared shirt in 2007. I hope you remembered my message for Mr. McCoy.
PEACE, Love and Country Music!
The PEACE I want has NOTHING to do with this blog. My prayer for PEACE is for the end of the war with IED's. Love life, family and friends. Cleveland may still ROCK...but we LOVE country music!

Good Morning...Merry Christmas!
Before our eggrolls...we will EAT dessert first! Mr. Webster and I, along with our mothers, will be hosting a dessert social at the senior center. I made a gigantic chocolate and cherry torte to serve to the shut-ins.
It weighs like ten pounds...OH and I just discovered chocolate up my sleeve, and cherries on my elbow.
Don't ask...cause I don't know. Be right back.
Today is our wedding anniversary.
It amazes me how many people remember we married on Christmas day...thank you for the notes and cards.
Wishing YOU and YOURS a delightful day with friends, and family.
I remember playing "Cold Sweat" 40 years ago. I still play it today. Thank-you, Godfather.
James Brown...rest in peace.

Time for the red feathers. I did get blue feathers for Christmas... that's another whole conversation.
OHHHHH...and I got a Curious George, a chia pet, gingerbread lotion, Michael Moore/Pat Buchanan books, and the coolest calendar.
NOT thinking about making any major changes to the blog in 2007. I am focused on the archives and plan to re-publish them at my convenience. The content depends on the bloggers. Ya all should know where I stand...and then take another step LEFT.
I had the opportunity to take Clevelandcountry.blogspot.com to BETA...but I did NOT know what it meant, but Goggle is out of them?
Hmmmmmmmm...how many did they have?
Hey Goggle...tell the BOT, I want to talk to him.
Hope YOU and YOURS are enjoying the holiday season. Thank you soooo much for the cards, emails, comments, and inquiries.
YES...we love country music.
YES...that is TRUE.
NO...I can NOT wear the feathers.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Long day for us but it was a great day with the extended family. And I think this is the first time in about 7 years that no one is pregnant! Yea! I swear, I canNOT keep up with all the little ones... I'm sure everyone else got the day off but thought I'd chime in....

Tickets are limited and going fast, so reserve yours soon
Speaking of New Year's Eve...
Is ACE's cancelling their NYE event? That's what I heard tonight. Anyone else care to comment?
My last inquiry regarding ticket availability. I was told "hundreds" were available and that only 16 tickets had been paid for.
New information has surfaced that may have contributed to a possible ACE's NYE cancellation.
My first reaction to ACE's New Year's Eve cancellation...I am being baited. Assurances from reliable sources have led me to run with it.
SIDEBAR
I personally cannot consume $75.00 worth of Laredo or liquor.
I think the lack of a Sunday liquor license is an easy excuse/reason for the cancellation. Web: I'm sure you have NOT been baited....there is more to the story than some are willing to admit. However, from what I understand, others are more than willing to share....
Only 16? What a sad, sad way to bring in the New Year....lack of tickets sold says a LOT!
December 28, 2006
So...I heard the Sunday liquor license story.
HELLO...did ACE's NOT know they did NOT possess a Sunday license?
HELLO...did ACE's NOT see the handwriting on the wall with the flat ticket sales?
HELLO...did ACE's NOT realize they had the SAME band for free the night before?
ACE's and Laredo are still peddling tickets on their websites this morning. Perhaps...it's all a misunderstanding.
Of course...I have more to say on the subject.
In theory, $75.00 a person for all you can drink on NYE is fair market value...even for Cleveland.
In practicality, ACE's patrons did the math. Hmmmmmmm...I can see Laredo for free on Saturday, drink, dance and go out for breakfast...and have $38.50 left over.
So...what about the 16 people that thought it was a good idea? Last I heard...the tickets would be good for next year. HELLO...the 16 people will demand their money back. PERIOD!
Hey Michael,
Thanks for the pics from Ace's. As soon as I'm done "laying low" I'll put the hat back on. LOL
Michael, thanks for the pictures!
I spoke to a ticketholder and she is definitely requesting her $75.00 back. Who really wants to hold onto a ticket for more than a year anyway?
tobykeithfan
GOOD LORD...ya had us worried. Welcome back. I don't know how long you've been gone, maybe you are unaware that we pretend, the Michael you may be speaking of, doesn't exist...if it's that Michael. If it's another Michael...pardon please.
Webster,
Yes I come and go it seems. Work leaves little time to play on the internet. I should be working now but...hush......don't tell them I'm not.
Molly,
Are we talking about the good Michael or bad Michael?
Keep a ticket for a year? Good Grief, I could be dead by then !!!
ACE's Update
There isn't one. Laredo has NOT got the memo yet or their tempo-less webmaster is unavailable. Maybe...all of these Einsteins have gathered together to formulate Plan B. A Bigger Better Blowout!
Disco Inferno tomorrow nite at SlyFOX.. anyone seen them ? I saw them ON Fox 8 news this morning.. might have to head there and check them out.
Speaking of FOX 8...
Mr. Webster/Swamp will be on tomorrow (Friday) morning.

ACE’s has cancelled their New Year's Eve event.
BTW...someone tell them that New Year's Eve will NOT be on a Sunday again for 7 years.
Copied and pasted from the ACE's website.
New Years Eve Party Has Been Cancelled
everyones money will be refunded along with giving you free passes to all of our private partys in 2007 including New Years Eve. sorry for any trouble this may cause.
We were told at first that we could sell liquor on sunday as long as it was a private party, Liqour control was just in our bar and told us that we definatly could not do this. So because of this we are cancelling our party. We will have a sunday permit for next year, so this problem will never happen again.
Hmmmmmmmmm...good thing they only sold 16 tickets.
NOW...
Ya all knew who to contact/email when the news broke.
Seriously...I thought the Laredo/ACE's cancellation was cooked up to play gotcha.
My history with Laredo is NOT so good. My view is tainted...it's the rose colored glasses.
The only Michael I want in my life at this time is the one I gave birth to.
If ya have been paying attention, I made it perfectly clear we are NOT ready to make nice...none of us!
The situation sucks for ACE's...
How much money has ACE's lost/invested on the non-event?
ACE's was of the belief they could have their NYE event.
NOT sure about how they obtained, to whom they spoke with or the accuracy of the information regarding a Sunday event.
The Dusty Armadillo is CLOSED for New Year's Eve...it makes sense now.
I think I know the Michael you are talking about and from my experience I know that when he is bad he is REALLY good!
LOL MR WEBSTER WAS MOVIN' AND GROOVIN' THIS MORNING. GO TO WWW.MYFOXCLEVELAND.COM AND CHECK HIM OUT!! AWESOME JOB!!
Am I the only one working today? I'm pretty sure they will not unlock my chains until 5:00. Oh well, such is life. I hope everyone has a wonderful new year. I will be at my Son's house enjoying my 2 grandson's. It's all about them these days. I love you Noah and Logan !!!!!!
Way to go, Swamp Boogie Band!
Gonna be headed out here shortly! Everyone have a SAFE and Happy New Years!! Here's to 2007! To my close personal aquintances on here. LUV U GUYS!! *smooches*

I don't have time today to elaborate further. PEACE to you as well.
Read an interesting post from the Laredo site. News to me..the poster claims someone from another band called liquor control and complained about the ACE's NYE event. Is that the NEW story/spin?
I suppose it's possible, however it was ACE's responsibility to check out the rules regarding Sunday liquor.
Laredo picked up another gig in Girard.

Pitiful poster, i.e., "Toby", I'm not sure that anyone would need to file a complaint about the bar being open because it's always open on Sundays. That wasn't the reason for the cancellation. Aces did think they had their act together if, in fact, they were told they could serve liquor if it was a private party. If that was not the case, it's better they were informed beforehand than to have the party, serve liquor and risk trouble later. Not sure why anyone else would feel the need to "file a complaint" but I guess it's just your way of trying to put the blame on someone else. But your most comical line was "Its just too bad they ruined the night for a lot of other people instead". A lot? 16?? That's a family gathering, not a party.

Happy New Year's Eve eve...
ME: I am on my fifth cup of coffee, and have been dabbling with the "archive" project. Keep in mind, the first thread is over 400 pages long...even with all the deletes.
I am still trying to figure out how to replace the first thread with a secured version.
Right now...it looks like it will be one post with all the bloggers comments. Ideally, it should be in calendar order. I don't want the original thread in the middle of the blog.
It is NOT often that I disagree with rubyking. He's a "LEFTIE" brother, and a peaceful Godly man.
I don't wish to "target" or "degrade" him.
timj, on the other hand, has earned the ridicule, and provoked the backlash. With that said...timj had the decency to apologise. A real thoughtful apology...not some lame excuse for deplorable behavior.
It is doubtful, in my opinion, that "readers" are intimidated by cynicism. They are fearful of the truth.
If "readers" are intimidated by what one woman has to say, ya gotta wonder what their quality of life is. We blogged on without them...and will continue to do so.
Also...I would be remiss if I did NOT mention the cultural and political divide that permeates every community including Cleveland country blogspot.
I adopted "Not Ready to Make Nice" as a personal anthem in April.
I am Not Ready to Make Nice
I am not ready to back down...
I am not ready to do what you think I should...
Forgive sounds good, forgot not sure I could.
They say time heals everything.
I am still waiting...
If you are of the belief that my OP/ED words in 2006 on diversity, The Dixie Chicks, Frank, Laredo, Lawless, the war, the "stay the course" President, my Clear Channel disdain, FOX..., BULL bull, retarded Google BOT, Blue Moose/toilet water in the kitchen, Saddle Ridge/NOT nice to country, and ACE's/bring your kids mentality did NOT impact Cleveland country and the blogspot...raise your hands.
Great...we can all agree on something.
A MySpace Bulletin from The Harley Cowboy, promoting Relentless at Shula's in Independence.
Relentless is one of my favorites. Honest to GOD...better than Lawless.
We've added a new option just for those folks that are not looking for a hotel room or dinner... that just want to come and party and enjoy a great band! For only $30 you get admission after 9pm - appetizers and dessert - party favors - and a champagne toast! And of course there is TONY RIO AND RELENTLESS for the night!! How cool is that?! And for those that would like.. you can take the ELEVATOR HOME after the party... to the Doubletree Hotel!!
December 31, 2006
The very last day of 2006.
It is NOT my intent to engage in a war of the words directly with rubyking.
We disagree...we really disagree.
I will tell ya why...shortly.
The blog is being fussy.
I just lost a well thought out, accurate, historical re-hash of the Websters and Laredo "hoop-la" for the "readers" mid-afternoon entertainment.
So much for mid-afternoon entertainment. The "hoop-la" will have to wait until NEXT YEAR!
The thing about New Year's Eve is, it's all day affair getting ready...at least it is for me.
I really cannot concern myself with the transgressions of 2006 while BDG, shaving, and nail polishing.
I have decided on an outfit, mix/match old/new. It's going to be long night...comfort is the key.
Mr. Webster and I do match, it wasn't on purpose...it just happens.
ALMOST ready to head downtown to Fat Fish Blue...Swamp Boogie Band and crabcakes for two.
Happy New Year to YOU and YOURS!
As everyone has stated on this blog, New Years Eve was cancelled at Aces. I see a number of different reasons that you people have posted. If you were to look on our website, we have posted the truth about why it was cancelled. The number of tickets sold was not an issue. Anyone that knows our bar, knows that EVERYTIME Laredo is at Aces, we have a full house. We try to accomadate everyone at ACES. It is unfortunate that we are not able to please everyone. We try our best and we address all complaints and concerns. At no time do we, as owners, hide behind the scenes. There WAS a complaint made to liquor control about our news years eve party. I, personally, spoke to the agent that was going to be here that day. I am not 100% sure if it was someone from this site or not, but the person that called, was bragging to a bartender at the Icehouse about doing it. They said that they did it because they did not like the band that was playing here that night. It is sad that someone would try to hurt someone else because of some differences with a third party. In high school, immature kids used to do that same thing. When it was out in the open that they had done that, they got what was coming to them. Everyone on here claims to love country music. I dont believe that is true. If everyone did, they would not spend so much time bashing a band. I have noticed that the majority of the country people that come into my place are good people. We try to provide a nice place for GOOD people to enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, sometimes there are bad apples in the bunch. Everything that we do at ACES is done in the interest of our customers. Does anyone think that we let the kids come in here because we were making money off of them? No, the kids did not cause problems, so we did not feel the need to make them leave. One person on this blog said something smart when they said that "you only here one side of the story". Now you have heard both sides. I am curious to see what the comments on this blog would have been if it was one of the bands that you guys like. We like to hear views from our patrons, and try to figure out ways to make things better at our club. Frankly speaking though, Anyone that dislikes our bar enough to talk bad about it, does not need to come here. Why on earth would you want to come to a place that you talk Sh!t about? If you are a true fan of country music, there are other places that have it, even when your favorite band is playing at ACES. To anyone on this that is a true country fan, Happy New Year. See you in 2007.

The Icehouse bartender is your source to insinuate that "someone" from the blog made the complaint.
I don't understand the part about you spoke to the person that day. What day? Did liquor control tell you there was a complaint or did ya hear it from someone who heard from someone that blogged it somewhere, and then told their MySpace friends?
A majority of the posts regarding ACE's are VERY VERY VERY positive.
We love the place.
So...ya are just here to tell us that it didn't matter that you only sold 16 tickets to your event, and that you love Laredo.
The blog has supported your venue every single week since ya opened. Ya've been linked, and a featured logo on the front of the blog 17 times.
Be glad you are NOT the Blue Moose...I'm still bitching about toilet water in their kitchen.

Still trying to figure out the ACE's guy?
What was the point of his post? Would someone please help me?
Did anyone here, complain about ACE's making money off kids?
NOPE...the COMPLAINT was kids in the place after 9'oclock.
NOT the tweens line-dancing...the pre-schoolers.

It's that time of year...again!
The FREE TIMES Music Award nominations.
NOMINATE FRANK
Happy New Year to everyone!
Just an FYI - if you see me at a gig and blatantly refuse to speak to me, don't go running to Jim B. to whine about what a terrible, mean person I am. Ya know who you are! If you have an issue with me, please be sure to be a man and take it up with ME. Otherwise, keep it to yourself instead of acting like a child.
I also didn't get the point of Rossi's post. I thought their explanation on the website pretty much summed it up.
You ladies are gettin' pretty tough... Haha. Very nice.
Yeah really. Don't ya just love reading a 40 sentence paragraph covering 15 issues?
ROFLMAO - "As far as acting like a child, pot, kettle, black..." (Excerpted from elsewhere), I'm not prone to whining and tattling. You've got the childish tactics covered.

The thought of the day...is something I have said over and over.
The "truth" always takes longer.
Be patient, the truth will surface...eventually.
This morning, I received an email from a reader that stated they did NOT know WHO to believe.
The idea of who to believe, perplexed me for 28 miles.
Why? ...cause I have told the truth.
Tonight
Lawless @ ACE's
Blue Moose?????
Saddle Ridge????
The Tabloid Twangers have been cancelled by Saddle Ridge for Wednesday, January 10th.
Did Lawless get bumped by Family Ties/Classic Rock @ ACE's?
Just read it in the Scene.
BTW
Miss Kellie Lynne...QUEEN of the "Clashing Country" is NOT a NATIONAL recording artist.
She's a mediorce "unsigned" female country singer from Pittspuke.
