Hop Love, February 4

83 at 9m

Thank you Columbus! Despite gloomy skies and a rain-sleet mix, the gallery was consistently crushed Saturday night. The traffic was endless and tight, and the huge, fully stocked beerquarium was empty by 9pm. Yea. Also, pushed quite a few shirts from the new 83 line by Scott Yonker. As always, our artists, patrons, bands, and friends showed up in a big way. Check out the event preview by Columbus Underground.

Jackie & The Stabbs

A special shout-out to Jackie & The Stabbs, who killed it with the 9pm slot. They played with a strange, delicate energy and oozed independent charm, suspending their audience (and yours truly) between swooning and dancing.  If it’s up to us, this won’t be the last time you see them at 83. They headline A&R Bar this Saturday, then open for Company of Thieves March 8th at Newport. More Jackie & The Stabbs on Facebook. Thanks also goes the closing band, Relentless Mules, for a great set; you can catch them Tuesdays at Dick’s Den.

Man, look at all those beautiful people

If you weren’t able to make it or would like a better look, the exhibit will remain up until February 25th.

Thanks, Pete O’Hare

And Brandon Lock, for the great work on the Chicago video to the right. Also, Pete is responsible for the header image above. We’ve been looking for an excuse to thank these guys for the job they’ve done and with the new site we have it. Click below to see Pete’s body of production work, and you can find them both sometimes freelancing at Vital Companies. Also, I’ve included a link to the um, not-as-professional ReasonableEnt’s YouTube channel. Catjob (you have to search for) and Open for Lunch are particularly engaging.
