Bluebird Takes Focus
For the past couple weeks, the "what's the Bluebird?" conversation has been a fun one. But it's time to move on to another discussion starter, as we now know that: the venue will be located at Beffa's, long the city's most obscure, yet connected restaurant; it's being booked by a member of The Beureau; and it's not going to be a full-time venue, specializing in select dates, instead.
Located pretty much unto itself near the AG Edwards complex, the room is starting to break some PR info to the press and blogerati.
With apologies to Matt "Skewgee" Hurst, here's the latest:
----
St. Louis’ newest concert venue, “The Bluebird,” is devoted to showcasing the best local, regional and national acts. Located at 2706 Olive (just outside of downtown), the 300-capacity venue boasts a professional sound system and free off-street parking. The club differentiates itself from other local nightspots by providing a clean, upscale, rock & roll atmosphere. The Bluebird will have its official grand opening on July 14th.
Contact Mike Cracchiolo for booking at bluebirdstl@gmail.com

LOL. I hear that my comments aren't always welcome on some STL blogs, but I really can't help it when I'm called out can I? I assume this has something to do with myspace, for which Skewgee was once my handle up until last year around this time. Of course, a year ago I wrote a series of blog entries on how to quit myspace. You'll notice this is why I don't post facebook links either :P
In al seriousness though, thanks for passing along the info. Sounds like my kind of place, at least with a lineup like that. Maybe I can buy ya that beer i owe ya up there?
