JV's 12-26-08 The Idle Americans

JV's Restaurant
6666 Arlington Blvd. (best address ever)
Falls Church, VA

I love playing JV's. Zach once said that all he wanted out of music was to have a regular gig here. It's a gen-u-wine NOVA roadhouse that's continually had live music and drinks since 1947. You couldn't ask for a sweeter owner than Lorraine (who else would stay open on Christmas in Falls Church?). I always get a good meatloaf. And, best of all, I get to chain-smoke during my set.

With all these pluses, the place has to be packed every night, right?

Sadly, we played to an appreciative 10 folks all night. You can't win 'em all. Though it was a little disheartening that the place was full on the nights bookending us.

This gig was also remarkable for being Mikey's second-to-last gig with us.

Next: Tomorrow, Private Party w/ Craig Gaylor, Bob Malardi, and Dave Elliot (!)
