Obligations at the Lounge
Episode 13: What is the Barmuda Triangle? Jane McBride & Jennifer Callan!!! Live Music from Jackson and the Janks!
TWO INTERVIEWS!!! First, Howie and Scully discuss their field trip to a City Planning Commission meeting on Blue Oak — What fun!!! Then back to the Lounge they interview Jane about how it feels to be the reigning BJ's Bye Week Cook off Champion for two out of the last three years and how we'll need an extradition treaty to get that trophy back. We also discuss the role community food plays in a neighborhood bar.
In our second interview we take a deep dive into the immediate neighborhood by calling on Jennifer Callan to provide a tutorial on the "Barmuda triangle" explaining the characteristics of BJ's, Vaughan's, and J&J's. They come to the conclusion that each bar is unique, but when one is hit with trouble, the others are there to help.
We dedicate this episode to the memory of Jim Nevius — The Jim in J&J's — You were always the "Catalyst for a fun."
