Les Jones: Back from the Mindy Smith Show

A&E > Back from the Mindy Smith Show

Just got back from the Mindy Smith show in the Old City in Knoxville. She sounded great. Metro Pulse ran a cover story on Mindy this week so the place was packed upstairs and down.

The picture to the right is my first attempt at moblogging using my new fancy pants camera cell phone. If the Soviets had had as much computing power in 1958 as this cell phone has in 2004 they would have won the Cold War.

The camera is pretty decent at 640 x 480, but it doesn't have a flash so it depends on mucho ambient light, hence the banding in this pic. Here's a better-lit photo of one of Melissa's Halloween novelties:

The phone is the LG VX6000, which was Consumer Reports highest-rated phone for Verizon.

I used to love seeing music down in the Old city, when it would come through (which was unfortunately rather rare)..

Where is that at?

Barley's Tap Room. Good atmosphere for a show, even if the acoustics are kind of rough.

Do you ever go to shows at the tennessee theatre? That place is great..

The Tennesse Theater rules. I've seen Fishbone, Primus, Johnny Cash, Gillian Welch, Merle Haggard, Johnny Lang, Steve Earle, and Phish there, plus Lawrence of Arabia and The Life of Brian. Knoxville's Entertainment Palace for damned sure.
