The Iridium is the biggest ripoff in NYC

Examples:
Mescan salad- One handful $7
2liter bottle Evian $7.50
tanqueray and tonic $7.95
Penne w/goat cheese, wild shrooms,
dried tomatos (portion was 1/3 of $16
a normal portion)

We had to go out for dinner after the show everyone
was still hungry. If anyone wants to see Les have
dinner before or after and order two top shelf drinks
to meet the minumum. Les is worth the $35 just call 1st
and make sure he's well before you head down. Oh I should
say the food is good but the typical portion is 1/3-1/2
of a meal. Music charge, dinner, 1 soda, 1 or 2 mixed drinks,
1 bottle of water and tip came to $180 for 4 adults and a kid
and that doesn't include the 2nd dinner we ate after the show.
Oh, if Les was there the music charge would have added another
$50.

Happy Birthday Louie Jordan!
If ya not familiar with Louie's work you should be.
The best way I can describe him is 80% Louie Armstrong,
15% David Bromberg and 5% Liberace but Mr. Jordan did it 1st.

One, Two, Three O'clock, Four O'clock rock,
Five, Six, Seven O'clock, Eight O'clock rock.
Nine, Ten, Eleven O'clock, Twelve O'clock rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me hon',
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one.

CHORUS:
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more.

CHORUS:

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.

CHORUS:

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.

CHORUS:

When the clock stikes twelve we'll cool off then,
Start rockin' 'round the clock again.

CHORUS:

Woodstock 29th anniversary show will be aired on the internet!
