This is a bar downtown where I live, toubabe, eoto, the bridge, brothers past (who is doing their thanksgiving party there this year) and a few others always come through. There was a band from this area called Quagmire Swimteam who opened for the new deal a few times and were doing pretty well in the jam band scene. http://www.archive.org/details/tbk2008-03-21.ksm109wav enjoy the show
