Singing the blues @ Roomful of Blues
This place has the ambiance of a neighbourhood pub done just right.
Dim lighting that casts deep shadows creating a sense of nostalgic loneliness.
A lone guitarist who plays maudlin songs in a bluesy folksy kind of way. After knocking back a few, you would even begin to believe that the man is strumming your pain with his fingers, singing your life with his words. Just like they said in a song.
The attentive staff is easy to like. The crowd is friendly without being personal.
The pub food is standard greasy fried fare: chicken wings, onion rings, fries. As a concession to some notion of health consciousness, they can even fry up some greasy tofu for you.
To sum up, the place is casual and comfortable in a familiar way.
Bluff one. Friends don't let friends go home with ugly people :)

Yes, guitarist is filipino called gilbert. Oh, you've been to Roomful already when our harmonica player was jamming!
You went there without me?!! Harmonica player was not there cos I was sick - on my b'day! hahah.... he rarely not turn up so it's not your lucky day. :p
wg - we were having dinner in the area and decided to drop in. no prior planning so no time to call u. anyway you sakit leh.
get well soon hor.
i enjoy music but it gets boring after a while if u are not involved in creating the music. i wish i know how to play an instrument!
"ugly people", whoa can be very subjective leh.
I'm well! hehe... if I go, also always very last min, that's why end up never calling you. :p
edp junkie - learning more about the music stops it from becoming boring too. not necessary to learn an instrument.
edjp - can sing? dance? clap?
