Replay is pretty cool. Caught Wesley Willis (and an interesting group by the name Sonic Douche) & a couple headbutts before he passed. They usually have DJs playing funk 45s or rocking 8-tracks on the weekends in the outdoor, beer garden area. Mildly hipster-ish, but cheapest PBR in town.


The Outhouse is unfortunately (or fortunately) a BYOB strip club now. It's quite an experience, & I recommend one trip for everyone.


But ONE is all you need.

Okay yall, who's better?

Bukowski
Burroughs

My vote is on Bukowski. Ham On Rye may be my all time favorite autobiography/novel.

i like all the bukowski books

quite a lot

more than i would think i would like them if someone just described them to me, that is for sure

but i think wm. burroughs was 'the man'

if he is second to anyone among writers of the last century, it's vlad nabokov

lawrence, ks, well, i guess it's probably ok!?

my band is playing the replay lounge in march while we are on tour. i've been there once but don't really remember it...

BYOB stripclub? that's fucking crazy. we might have to stop there...

Lawrence is a cool place. It's coolness is highly magnified by it's location in Kansas, which isn't cool.

I spent quite a bit of time there two years back. The Replay Lounge is total hipsterville, replete with obscure band t-shirts, nonchalant barmen and pinball machines. There is a place along from it on Mass Street called the Jazzhaus, which is an atrocity.

Yeah, not a big Jazzhaus fan myself.

Did see a pretty cool band by the name of DJ Not A DJ there once, but that's about it.

They have tables juuuuust big enough for a 30 pack of Busch Light or High Life or whatever you prefer


And on any given night, maaaaaayyyybeeee ONE nine-out-of-ten-doctors-approved actual semi-attractive stripper

I've been watching this thread with some interest the past couple of days.
I live in kc and used to spend much of my time in lawrence when my friends went to school there.

The replay is a small small place that does get some great bands to play. It pretty much always sounds like crap in there but hey, they have the best jukebox ever.

If your band is touring through there. I highly recommend stopping by Love Garden (a kick ass record store).

...For all you Panel Donor fans..... Brandon Aiken is playing in a knew band with members ex-members of Giants Chair and Proudentall. It is Panel Donorish with some 70's rock thrown in. I will be recording this band sometime in the future.


cheers

OH yeah.... that band is called Volara

I prefer the Taproom's jukebox, but the Replay's is also quite nice

Agreed. Bastards got 80 of my dollars just last week. Don't step on the cats.
