Boggia - 9.22.01 Dawson Street Pub/9.25.01 Grape Street Pub

No Comments 19 September 2001

Hi Friends,

Are you like me? Do you like streets? Do you like pubs? Do you like pubs
on streets?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, then how could you NOT love a
pub on a street named after the street the pub is on? You can’t, can
you?

And if THAT’S how you feel, the prospect of TWO pubs on TWO different
streets BOTH named after the streets that they’re on . . . well, it’s
almost too good to be true.

Or, should I say; TWO good to be true?
You’re right, clearly I should not have said that.

I will be playing at the Dawson Street Pub on Saturday, 9.22.01,
starting around 10p and going ’til they throw us all out (which they
will do). This will be a solo show and usually features ample amounts of
me doing my “Human Jukebox” thing, plus all the original Jim Boggia
songs that I can stand. Do not grab the mike from me at this gig, it’s
rude.

Then, on Tuesday, 9.25.01, I hastily assemble the lads (Mike Frank,
Scott Bricklin, Kevin Hanson, Erik Johnson) for a Y-100 Tuesday Night
Music Club throwdown at the Grape Street Pub, where we will play from
around 10p ’til the next band starts to play. We would keep playing, but
we don’t know any of their songs.

The Recap:
Saturday, 9.22.01 - 10p
Dawson Street Pub
100 Dawson St (at Cresson) - M’yunk, PA

Boggia - 7.24.01.@ Grape Street Pub - Manayunk, PA

No Comments 17 July 2001

Good Morning,

Next Tuesday (7.24.01), the boys and I (the boys: Mike Frank, Scott
Bricklin, Erik Johnson, Kevin Hanson - I: Jim Boggia) will once again
play the Y-100 Tuesday Night Music Club. This time (7.24.01) the event
(Y-100 Tuesday Night Music CLub) will take place at its new location
(Grape Street Pub), instead of its former site (not the Grape Street
Pub).

With the move to a new venue (Grape Street Pub), the Y-100 Tuesday Night
Music Club (the event) has changed in several ways. To prepare you (your
name here) for this (the change), I (Jim Boggia) have helpfully included
a list of differences (things which have changed).

* We will no longer play in front of large screen TVs showing Sports
action completely unrelated to the music. This will help you be less
confused about why ‘Annie Also Ran’ has a video featuring the women of
the WNBA.

* The soundman sits at the same level as the band and audience. This
will allow you to be in the “sweet spot” without having to suspend
yourself 12 feet in the air. Additionally, far less people will be
injured from being knocked over when they stand too close to the bass
bins, which are no longer way too loud because the soundman is no longer
12 feet up in the air.

* No air hockey table right next to the stage. This will prevent you
from having to listen to 64th note triplet “Puck solos” in the quiet
sections of songs.

* Y-100 host Dan Fein looks twice as sexy in the flattering stage
lighting of the Grape. Strangely, Mike Frank and myself look the same as
always.

The Recap:

Tue., 7.24.01 - 10p
Grape Street Pub - Manayunk, PA
105 Grape St.
215.483.7084

Y-100 Tuesday Night Music Club

Also appearing: Stargazer Lily and Mississippi Blacksnake.

Yes, change is hard. But together maybe we can get through it.

Hope to see you there,
Jim

Boggia - Record Release Party - 6.15.01 - North Star Bar

No Comments 13 June 2001

Hello Sports Fans,

This Friday, 6.15.01 I will celebrate the release of my
mildly-anticipated debut LP ‘Fidelity is the Enemy.’

The question is, will I celebrate it in the same manner as my 10th
birthday, that is to say, alone?

Alas, the Sixers did not come through on their promise to sweep the
Lakers so they could all come out on Friday and buy a copy of the record
(Dikembe said he’d buy 2). Yes, my show (doors at 9p, music at 9:30p
SHARP!) is up against Game 5.

So here’s what I’ll do.

* I will have sexy women parade across the stage with score updates
between songs.

* I will have a TV onstage showing the game. Not one of those passe, big
screen jobs, but a 13 inch black and white baby that will draw you into
the action (and close to the stage).

* If absolutely necessary, Mike Frank and I will act out instant replays
with Erik Johnson providing play-by-play in “Uppese” (Uppese is a
language that places the word “up” in every syllable, such as “Thupe
Supixupers upare gupouping tupo kupick thupe Lupakupers upassupes.”)

I heard Coach Brown say that one of the things that was throwing the
SIxers off was that the players were distracted by the thought of too
many people watching the first half of the games at home on tv, so maybe
the best thing to do for them would be to come on out and hear some
music. So, it’s really up to you.

The Recap:
Friday, 6.15.01
Game 5 of the NBA Finals
WCAU - NBC10

Er, sorry. I meant to say . . .

The Recap:
Friday, 6.15.01 (Doors 9p / Music 9:30p SHARP!)
North Star Bar
27th and Poplar Sts. - Philadelphia, PA
