Here's the latest from my friend Sierra Madre Sue:If I go out at all on New Year's Eve, it's gotta be somewhere close and hassle-free. I'm usually at home getting ready for the house full of football fans & friends who will be coming over the next day. This year I hope to finish my chores early so I can go see a couple of great local bands and still get home at a reasonable hour Monday night. Always a good time, Snotty Scotty & the Hankies will be at the 1881 Club in Pasadena on Washington Blvd., and I don't have to cross the parade route to get there. Even closer is CAFE 322 in Sierra Madre, where LIGHTNIN' WILLIE & THE POORBOYS will be puttin' on an energetic blues show, complete with champagne & dancing. Reservations are being taken now for two dinner seatings: 626-836-5414. The bar area is open seating. More info. on both of these NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATIONS below...... and a photo of Lightnin' Willie and me.
