[Penny Lane]

Heard this was a MUST (for UR at least):

Strutter and I would love to make this happen, but Easter weekend will be a tough one to work out.

Just because I think it's overrated doesn't mean I don't think it's real, real good, and in fact, I don't have a better recommendation for barbecue there.

Oh, Penny. You know me so well.

In, for shows, and 'cue.

You won't be disappointed with the 'cue but that stage at the workplay is way too high. At least it was when we were there in 07

GOD I LOVE DREAMLAND!!!!!

GOD I LOVE DREAMLAND!!!!!

It's half the ingredients my "bloody confederate" which we only break out for the Fla/Ga game.
half a shot dreamland, half a shot dickel (black label)
tip it quick!
Seems like DL is just on the edge of UAB campus.

[Lurleen McQueen]

In for shows. Dreamland is ok, but IMHO slightly overrated. My local Gas station has Much better Q.

[Howlinwolf]

Agreed Ms. McQueen - I'd rather do Jim & Nicks for Q.

[Penny Lane]

You people are so hard to please sometimes.

Agree, but my cousin her husband and all her kids have worked there at one point or another so i'm biased i guess.

My favorite bq is down here but we don't have a Dreamland down here and it's just been a tradition for us since the early 90's
and us following the Gators. You can't get to Starkville or Oxford without going thru Tuskaloosa and even though we've been
told there are better places, we still stop there. Besides I need the sauce for my drinks

stand your ground Penny, i dont know about the rest of the menu all i do is the ribs(that is what they are known for and all that is served at the original shack in TinselTown) but I'll throw in a round of the super delish banna pudding!

I've never been to this place before any recomendations on Hotels? a short stumble would be ideal

[Penny Lane]

I would like to put in an official request to hear AFTERMATH at some point this weekend....! Getting jealous of these setlists..

I've had pretty good luck in the past using Priceline to get the Sheraton for $50-$55 before tax. Just bid on 4 star downtown. There is a trolly that will drop you off about 2 blocks away. Cab ride back is $5.

There are other hotels closer but you will end up paying much more.

[Lurleen McQueen]

I'm looking for a woman to split the costs of a hotel room for Friday and Saturday in the Ham please. PM me if you're interested. Working with a tight budget here folks.

price line's pulling up the Sheraton for around 130. the nearest thing im seeing to your 50-55 is the knights inn. though they do have free adult channels the first customer comment is "not a place for families, children, or women."

You need to do a "Name your own price" for a 4 star in downtown Birmingham. My last win was the Sheraton for $55. Do not stay at the knights inn.

Looking at Better Bidding they say to bid on a 3.5 * in Central Birmingham so maybe my memory of 4* was incorrect.

so back on the subject!!! whats up with BBQ???????????????????????????????????

rock 'n' roll, beer, and ribs! sounds like a holiday weekend!!

[John A Arkansawyer]

I'm still deciding whether to try to make these shows or not. Do folks familiar with the venue think it's going to sell out?

[Penny Lane]

Of course you should!


They haven't played Birm in 5 years..

Can't swing two shows, unfortunately.
