Fri November 8 at 8:00 PM, The Royal Oaks
924 Oak Street, Youngstown, OH, USA (Map & Directions)
So, he hasn't made a big deal out of it, but MeFi's own flapjax at midnite is currently meandering around the U.S. playing some shows. Tour schedule if you want to see where else he's been or will be. This Friday 11/8 he'll be at The Royal Oaks in Youngstown. The club's Facebook page. Nothing about the gig on there, but flapjax has confirmed it's happening. He'll start about 8 pm.
If any Cleveland-area MeFites would like a ride, feel free to MeMail me or ask here - although, fair warning, I smoke like a chimney.

Hey, I think Mefite Herodios might be in attendance as well. We're gonna rock it y'all, so come on down!

Oh, and it *might* start earlier than 8, maybe 7. I'll see if I can determine when exactly, and post here again with updated info.

Ahia just came off of living daylights savings time last weekend -- mebbe they're still hoarding it down in Y-ville.

Just paid a visit to the Royal Oaks. Wow, what an incredible place. If Tom Waits never wrote a song about it AND shot a video there, it's ONLY because he never saw the place. Gonna be big fun tonight, I think.

I, however, HAVE written a song about it, which I'll be premiering tonight.

"Youngstown Dies Screaming"?
"The Mahoning has been Drinking (Not Me)"?
"Traficant Got Rained On With His Own Phoney Pate?"

Spozta be the oldest bar in Youngstown or something.

The paper printed the interview, named the venue in passing, but failed to mention the time.

But the Oaks' Phizbook page finally updated and it looks lilke there's some buzz -- so better bring your kazoo.

Well, with three Mefiers there at the lovely Royal Oaks tonight, by gosh, the gig was also a... meetup! So, here's a picture: soundguy99, flapjax at midnite, mystery headless guest and Herodios.

Did you guys see the ghost at the Royal Oaks?

The Daily Buzz covers the Royal Oaks. Most of the folks in this piece were still there last Friday night.

A variety of live acts -- some natural, some less so -- at Royal Oaks:
