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


We were talking about high alcohol content beers. Chuck D Computer said Tom Bates once made him some gin beer. Chuck said a couple of those and it was “fast track to Palookerville. An express train”. Alexander the Great mentioned Speckled Bird and Très Pistoles, a Canadian beer.

Alexander also suggested that I try Dead Guy Ale (out of Newport, Oregon).

Amanda came into work and someone shouted ‘Amanda’. Chuck D kidded about “A man da be reckoned with.” Chuck admitted it was an old joke.

A guy was ordering beers from Claudia. He told her, “I want 2 Beds”.

Frequent Flyer was back from a trip to Cincinnati. He said the airport is actually in Kentucky. There were a lot of young University of Kentucky fans on the plane with shirts celebrating their NCAA championship. Frequent Flyer was tempted to ask one of the UK women to swap her tee shirt. FF said he’d be willing to swap his pants for her shirt. Foot Joy suggested that the girl be told, “You go first.”

A man tripped over the Hot Club threshold coming in from the deck and lurched forward. Witnessing this, Stephanie said, “Have a nice trip. See you next fall.”

And the Hot Club will soon have a fire escape door on the deck next to that threshold.

There was a 1st on the first Friday in April. There were 2 motorcycles parked side by side in the Hot Club parking lot. They were right near the “No motorcycles in the lot” sign.

Charlie Clancy said that he always envied when the Masters was played because the flowers were out. But, Charlie reflected, our flowers are out now. Charlie also wanted to plug the Hot Club for its new cooler. Word is that there is another one on the way.

Alexander the Grate gave one of the regulars a new nickname: Sherlock Ohms.

Buffalo Steve told me that when he was married he lived in Cranston. He lived on Pasture View. I thought he said ‘passed your view’. High Wire Bill said that he grew up in Cranston and that in western Cranston “there were only rich folks and goats”.
