Any of you on the forum that live within driving distance of Birmingham should go to Mr. Gip's next Saturday night to support Satan and Adam. I thought Adam sounded great on You Tube. You should hear him live!! Who's coming??

This changed from them playing at The Burly Earl?
What happened to that one?
This Mr. Gips looks cooler. Where exactly is it? I'm in Birmingham and I've never heard of it.

Yes, the Burly Earl shut its doors last weekend, but the Magic City Blues Society has come to the rescue.
Mr. Gip's Juke Joint (www.myspace.com/gipsjukejoint) is in Bessemer, and it's supposed to be the raw real deal.
For directions, please email our blues society benefactor: Roger Stephenson (rjs44@charter.net). He can email you directions. You'll definitely want to have them in hand before you go.

Here are the directions that Roger sent me:
We’ll try to fit you in. get there by 8:30 to secure a seat. Coolers welcome, BYOB although basic bud my be available, best to bring what you like. We may fry some catfish. You are very welcome. We’ll be asking for a $10 donation to help them make up what they loose from the cancelled gig. If you need help with the directions just let me know. Show kicks off at 9pm or there about.
From Hwy 59/29 take exit 110, left at end of ramp.
Right onto 9th Ave north / Rt 11
Take a left onto hwy 150 north (also known as 14th St N)
Keep going a short mile, you will go over a railroad crossing, the fourth street on the L should be Clarendon, the next one is Dartmouth Ave, a bit hard to see, turn L onto Dartmouth, go under a bridge.
Go a couple of miles thru the projects
See a service station on the right and go a few more blocks
Go right on 33rd St
Follow up the hill to a stop sign
Go Left and take an immediate right
Not very far
Go a couple more blocks and take a right on Ave C
Parking on both sides of road.
May be crowded.
Mr. Gips at bottom of road on the left. You'll see the cars, go down drive and you'll see the juke behind the house.

Fried catfish, cold beer and great blues ... man ... it doesn't get any better than that.
... I wish I was within driving distance.

Wow. What a show that was! Mr. Gip's was just about the coolest place I've ever been. Satan and Adam were great and the crowd was a good one.
Gary, I was nice to meet you and your family, there. Thanks for the beers and the gig light! It will come in handy.
