Tricks, Treats, and Trolleys - HOTB at the Wine Rack, Friday October 30

Friday is the Eve of All Hallows Eve, and Frankfort Avenue will be hopping from one end to the other.

Here are three scary good reasons to find your way to The Wine Rack (2632 Frankfort Avenue).

1. The folks from Schlafly St. Louis Brewery will be on hand with samples of various brews.  

2. Our friends at Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese will also be on hand with delectable offerings.

3. Hound of the Buskervilles (all four of us, Dan, Phil, Eddie, and Marty) will be in the courtyard, playing music on what is projected to be a superb October night.

Join us for a sip, a nibble, and a listen (the music starts at six, and will continue until 8:30 or 9).

A fund-raiser for the Dona O'Sullivan Fund to Fight Homelessness, 9/14 at Flanagan's.

Please join us in supporting the Dona O'Sullivan Fund to Fight Homelessness by coming to Flanagans Ale House (934 Baxter Avenue) anytime on Monday, September 14!

Busking under the Stars: Saturday at the Barret Bar

The Patio at the Barret Bar & Grill is a brick-lined haven that's among the city's most comfortable outdoor music venues - the perfect place to settle back with a brew, some great pub food (Klaus's Pretzel Bread, house-smoked meats, great sandwiches), and the intricate acoustic sound of Hound of the Buskervilles.

The Saturday night forecast calls for perfect busking weather under a crescent moon. The music starts at 9 pm (a few minutes after sundown) and runs until midnight.

Please join Phil, Eddie, Dan and Marty for a special night!

The City's Spring

Though jealous March, in marble skies

Prisoned our April Saturdays, 

This air is full of courtesies. 

The walls, that wept with arrowy rain,

Turn a new presence to the sun. 

Flowers and friendly days are in. 

The bended lanes are loud with cries, 

And are become our Italies,

And bring sweet songs and strawberries.  

And bring sweet songs and strawberries - √Buskervilles at the Bardstown Road Farmers' Market.

The City's Spring

Though jealous March, in marble skies

Prisoned our April Saturdays, 

This air is full of courtesies. 

The walls, that wept with arrowy rain,

Turn a new presence to the sun. 

Flowers and friendly days are in. 

The bended lanes are loud with cries, 

And are become our Italies,

And bring sweet songs and strawberries.
