The Hot Club

THE HOT CLUB
WHERE HEARTS ARE ON FIRE

BUT IT’S NEVER TOO HOT
FOR THE DEVIL MAY CARE

575 South Water Street

Providence, RI




















THE HOT CLUB

Bags was lamenting about his taxes being raised in North Providence by 17%. Someone told him he should vote out his senator. Someone else pointed out that Bags is not a registered voter, so a certain local representative from Cranston told Bags: “Well, you don’t count.” So Bags went out and registered. Now he can complain.



I couldn’t imagine anyone would bet on a pre-season NFL game, but Contraire went with the 7-point favorite Pats vs. the Bengals. As I was relating this, Contraire heard me and said, “There’s a cockroach born every second.” I said to him, “You would know.”



A guy tried to let his girlfriend use the men’s room, but Broc pointed out that she couldn’t do that.



Contraire proclaimed that the Sportzine has been shut down ‘because of lies’. He called me ‘a weekly Hot Club patron’ so “You’re weak.”



Hooks has quit smoking. “I can’t afford it.”, he said. Not for health reasons. I told him he can’t afford it because of his health. No, he can‘t afford it.



Baseball – something new happens all the time. On the HC TV, Toronto’s Brett Cecil threw the ball into the dugout without time being called. Jason Bay, the BoSox runner, advanced two bases.



Mike Solomon said that when Rocco Baldelli was on rehab in Pawtucket that he bought $800 worth of Wes’ Ribs for the team buffet. Apparently it’s almost a PawSox tradition for rehabbing major league players to get food from Wes’ Rib House. Several other players including John Smoltz did it this year.



Ian, who worked the Hot Club grill for 5 years, returned for a visit. Ian is working the night shift at Julian’s, which is now serving dinners according to Ian. Ah, the Hot Club as the Hotel California – You can check out any time but you can never leave. There was also a Sue Murphy sighting on the deck.



Chuck D said that a guy was so drunk he was slurring his pauses.



Alexander the Grate noted that Paul Anka not only wrote My Way for Frank Sinatra but also the theme song to the Tonight Show.



Pucky said that the new 195 or I-Way bridge is the ‘Je ne sais quoi’ of the Hot Club.
