MoKah Coffee Bar – great coffee and more with free WiFi!
Today I decided to check out this Life in Deep Ellum/ellum: ONSTAGE in person and see what this joint is all about. As I sit here typing this moment, I can’t wait to go back. Lemme tell ya something kids, this place is probably one of the best (if not the best) venues in town to see a live show.

A divine listening room or a place to hang with your coffee
Great rooms, unbelievable sound system, helpful, friendly staffers…clean. Plus, they are a wonderful source for the local Deep Ellum community.

The grand room of musical magic
So I asked Johnny Lloyd Rollins to meet me over there so’s we could have a chat-it-up with Rocky Presley about the upcoming North by Southwest extravaganza that kicks off Saturday. March 10th.
So enough of my yappin’, let’s let the boys talk…

Actually the song video loaded first, then when I loaded the talking video it erased the performance…the whole deal took about 5 hours too…sigh…I tnink I’m switching to Google or YouTube for my videos…dammit…I’m retrying to load this morning and hopefully we’ll have us some Johnny in the next couple of hours…

hahah! that was my second guess.. that you somehow erased it! hahaha..
thats even more awesome… Cindy.. I think we need to have a tech day to sit and figure these things out..

Bill, Saturday’s show looks awesome! I’d be there too, but I’m volunteering at SXSA/SAIndie Fest.
However, I’ll be at North by Southwest all day/night on Monday!

So, I take it from this: http://www.northbysouthwest.com/bands.html, that Comrade is getting $100 & Modico has a “confirmed time slot”. Has no one else noticed that?
