D Magazine profiles one of our neighbors!

D Magazine has an interesting profile of one of our neighbors, Mathew Posey of The Ochre House:

Mathew Posey lives in storefront on Exposition Blvd. steps from Fair Park. Instead of a kitchen table he has forty-five plastic orange chairs. Instead of living room couches, he has a ten-by-twelve foot wooden stage. During the day, the space is called home. At night, home transforms into The Ochre House, an in-your-face performance space.

Visit The Ochre House online, see one of Mathew Posey's shows, and join us for a beer and a discussion of avante garde theater afterwards.

Randy Lee with the Shelley Carrol Quartet for Jazz Night

Hello my jazz babies; just a quick note to let you know that Randy Lee will sit in with the Shelley Carrol Quartet (minus Shelley) at The Amsterdam Bar this Monday night. As always, the jazz will be cool and the beer will be cold. That is all, my babies.

Jazz Night at the Amsterdam features the Michael Palma Quartet!

Please come join us for a night of original music and some choice standards. My band will feature:

Clay Pritchard- sax
Lyles West - bass
Dennis Durrick- Drums
and myself on piano

I have traveled the world and lived in Boston and New York for the past 7 years. All of my life experiences have gone into this new music I am writing and it is my intention that it will spread a message of Hope, Love, Serenity, and Good Will towards our fellow brethren. For it is in giving that we receive. I hope you will join me in this celebration of life because it is for all of you that I want to share with you. And we have the best bartender in the world Ross Martinez working so you can't go wrong!

with love and blessings and much thanks to the Creator for making this possible,

--Michael Palma
