Honestly I’m not sure if The Cotton Club is still open. The last time I went there has probably been about 7 years now. I do know at the end of 2008 it was still open.

It opens late so if you pass it during the day it looks abandoned, lol.

If you ever drive through one.two.five (Key Katie that’s 125th Street in local talk) on the weekends in the Alfa-R. take a look anytime after 1pm.

I haven’t been there in years but I can remember how good that food was. I wanted to live there!!!

Damn that food was good.
I can’t stand the fact that TX doesn’t have soul food. Tex-Mex and BBQ all day everyday but not a drop of some good ole’ Macaroni & Cheese and Candy Yams!

And, that’s exactly what I did after the craft fair! Actually, we just grabbed food nearby, but it was mildly reminiscient of a speakeasy, sort-of.

Hey, maybe you can answer this for us – Who goes to the Cotton Club? Is it even still open? What’s the deal w/ that place?

Also that Honest Abe pendant is not popping at all.
What they needed to be selling is any of the medallions that these Brotha’s are wearing.

Beth totally looks like she’s on her way to a speakeasy or the Cotton Club up in Harlem to listen to the Duke Ellington Band.
(At the same time she also looks like she used to Run Numbers for the Mobster “The DutchMan”)

That’s just how I feel! And that’s where the giant margarita comes in.

I really think it’s better not to tell me when you like anything, because I get overexcited and assume you want many of them, which then results in you getting a hot-dog-related item for Christmas every year like Tracey does.

Maybe you’ll make him switch teams by being next to all that awesomeness.

(You do realize that Abe’s dead, though, right? And also just a picture on a pendant? Just thought I needed to make sure.)

This made me laugh out loud when I read it this morning. Mostly because I can totally picture you doing it.

I agree that you need it . . . but not for $110.

Umm, no, it’s too awesome. But go buy your own! And maybe cry a little and link them here to my amazing plug for them, and they might be persuaded to discount it for you.

The day after I bought that, I came into work and turned on the TV in the kitchen to watch the news for a minute, but a documentary about Abe being gay was playing on The History Channel, and I feel such a strong connection to him now that I had to sit and watch it. It makes me a little sad to know that there’s the possibility of him not enjoying the fact that he now gets to rest between my breasts.

The Abe Lincoln necklace is even cooler than I could ever imagine. Make sure you wear it to work on the days when you’re already planning to wear your top hat and fake beard.
