The Second To Last Night At Landlord Jim's Ever

First off I want to thank the staff and crew at Landlord Jim's. It achieved what so few club/bars in San Diego has been able to establish since I moved here six years ago...it is comfortable for everyone.

Tonight was no different, my friend Keisha...who's main man is a regular DJ at the Underground Gem got us right in upon arrival...even though about 100 San Diegans had braved the elements (55 degrees and 5 mph winds...sack up nancy).

As is with every night I have ever spent there hanging out and listening to music it was a complete joy. Great music... wonderful mix and good people all around having fun. I arrived in my punk-rock garb and not once did I have someone look at me with a discerning eye.

And with that dies one of the last few hidden wonderful secrets of San Diego. A venue where you could have a few beers at a reasonable price, enjoy great music and the company of nice people. Now that is dead, All in the name of a parking structure!

I will carry with me many fine memories of a neighborhood establishment with no pretention, attitude or arrogance. Just a place where life would stand still for a moment and not pass you by in the moment.

And with that I bid you adieu Landlord Jim's...we will never forget you.


Ramble Over.

A nice dive gets blasted for more parking that you have to pay too much for?

Fuck capitalism. Fuck parking lots, their attendants, their boots, and their retarded pay machines.
