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

The Hot Club as Hotel California: Brendan was there Friday night. He’s in from Wilmington, NC, on the beach. He’s attending a couple functions including a bachelor party. Brendan said he still has the Zine in which he makes a ‘shower’ appearance.



In the same vein, Bernard, one-time HC cook and doorman and Obasi’s brother (also Mary’s and Mya’s) paid a visit. Bernard works in Boston for a Tobacconist.



And I ran into Derek, one time doorman at the HC, who sends along his salutations. Seems Derek is engaged to marry Colleen, his long time love. Congratulations to both and wishes of good health, and a great future. Who would have thunk that Leo, long time sidekick of Derek’s, would beat Derek to the altar and already be the father of two.



Lionel and Diesel once were two runaway trains. Now they are chugging along, making regular stops and at night return to the safety of the station.



The Jack of Fire was showing his knee to Alexander the Great. Well, more accurately Jack was showing Alex where he had his most recent arthroscopic knee surgery. Said Alex, “You’re the Hot Club Bobby Orr.”



Then on further reflection, Alex the Grate said to Jack: “I’ve seen better legs at a KFC.”



Last Wednesday, I asked Contraire if there was any sport he didn’t bet on. Contraire said “Hockey. It’s too complicated.” Sunday I found out that Contraire bet on the Bruins after they were up 3-0, but lost two games in a row before switching to Philly for Game #7. I thought he said he didn’t bet on hockey? That’s why he’s Contraire.



I was talking to Scott McKay about a local doofus named Douglas who wanted to go to Myrtle Beach to play golf before going to the slammer. As for the $25,000 bribe that Douglas and two others allegedly took from a supermarket wanting to build, Scott said that they are lucky that it was a Stop & Shop and not a Whole Foods or the bribe would have been $50,000.



Jimmy Chelo and Chet went outside to the parking lot to see a dog. They asked me to watch their drinks. When Britt came by, I explained that Jimmy and Chet were coming back for their drinks, that they had just gone out to the parking lot. Britt playfully asked, “Are they out in the parking lot smoking weed?”



Jimmy Chelo said he knows someone who lives in a gated community – a prison.
