Has anyone been here (I'm guessing JimG has) ? If so, can you please post your impressions of the venue, parking and neighborhood. Thanks. | ||

A fellow forumer owns it, Many of us have been there. | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 113 Registered: 11-2003 |
Yea, I kind of figured that, hence my question. It appears to have made a real impression on you... (Message edited by Nip on November 30, 2006) | ||

It's an awesome space. I always enjoyed visiting there. | ||
Ndavies Member Username: Ndavies Post Number: 2341 Registered: 10-2003 |
Why don't you just go there and find out for yourself? I love the place. But I am friends with the owner. I'm sure most of the people here who have been there are also. I doubt you'll find an unbiased opinion here. Go visit it and make up your own opinion. | ||

Ay yes, that was the place I saw Jelk get kicked in the nuts by a gal. Fun times for everyone! | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 114 Registered: 11-2003 |
Ndavis, that's my plan. What's with the smart-ass demeanor? I was just interested in hearing other peoples opinions of the place, is that okay with you? | ||
Ndavies Member Username: Ndavies Post Number: 2342 Registered: 10-2003 |
I don't see anything smartass in my response. It was a simple statement of facts. | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 115 Registered: 11-2003 |
Not really. I merely asked for peoples impressions of the venue. A "simple statement of facts" would be to answer my question, not to tell me to go and check it out for myself. If I want your advice (which I don't), I'll ask for it. | ||
Ndavies Member Username: Ndavies Post Number: 2343 Registered: 10-2003 |
you asked
I answered
You replied with the first smartass answer.
I replied with an equally smartass answer
and then explained why my first answer was so short on detail. And if you don't want my advice don't post questions here asking for advice. | ||

IF anything, Ndavies immediately disqualified himself from the opinion-taking deftly and honestly. Dammit man, he's from the British Isles, he don't say much...but when he do... Many of us know one of the guys that made sure the place didn't get bulldozed...and I say this with a big smile...so we will be biased. You don't just want to pull a Karl and just get a bunch of unqualified yesses...and be happy with that, do ya? I'd say IF ANYTHING...ahem...letting you know that it is safe because we know some of the majors and many have been there...and we all say good things about the main guy...should indicate that, yes, you SHOULD try it out for yourself. I can't say anything about the Bo House...I finally wandered through the neighborhood after a Mexican Village birthday dinner just last night...and still couldn't find the damn thing. Need a map, it's off the beaten path...or I wasn't far enough west. | ||

Coming soon to the Bohemian National Home- Mud wrestling- Nip vs. Ndavies in the first round. (Message edited by Pam on November 30, 2006) | ||

Please tell me that Nip is a 125 lb blonde haired, blue eyed hottie. If not, I will have no part in watching this mud wrestling event. | ||

It's a great space, Nip. And I don't know the owner. It is a fabulous ruin with plenty plenty soul. Saw Sam Rivers there in the Grand Ballroom. | ||
Gannon Member Username: Gannon Post Number: 7282 Registered: 12-2003 |
Yep. Didn't go far enough west. SAW Tillman off Michigan across the freeway from Slows, and it rang a bell deep within my punkin' noggin, but it was merely one among an entire symphony last night so I didn't harken its call to follow ONE BLOCK up that street in my trolling to find it.

Thanks Jams, I guess I still don't get it. Sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack. I thought just listing the site was credit. Oh well, mostly I felt bad that someone called another member a nasty name. | ||

Welcome to the forum!! Until you've been here awhile, you'll miss quite a few of the subplots. | ||
Kathinozarks Member Username: Kathinozarks Post Number: 19 Registered: 11-2006 |
Thanks for the welcome! Very interesting about the subplots; I think I'll mostly read what you all say and see if I can get the gist of the pecking order and relationships here. Kind of like moving to a new city. Stand back and watch for a while! | ||

Careful while looking at his photoshops. It's best to read Its' stuff sitting. Makes for a much shorter fall to the floor before you roll and lose your ass. Always remember, gravity can be your friend...or your enemy. | ||

Kath, This is a banner day. Just as our dear Karl cannot admit he's wrong, Itsjeff usually cannot admit he's funny. Close enough to get him to say he was joking. He has the cutest blush when you bring any of this up in public... | ||
Kathinozarks Member Username: Kathinozarks Post Number: 20 Registered: 11-2006 |
I feel so warm and fuzzy! Awwww, Shucks. You guys really are nice, aren't you? Humor can be difficult to get across in type unless you know the person. I live in The Ozarks right now (big enough city for me, 12,000) and was so happy to find this site a few months ago. I spent hours looking at all the pix of my lovely, old hometown and reading people's memories of the Eastside on one thread. I may have moved, and really like small town living better, but Detroit is forever in my heart and beautiful to me, even with all it's warts. I visit every other year or so. Detroit and SE Michigan really sticks in your soul, doesn't it! | ||
Gannon Member Username: Gannon Post Number: 7312 Registered: 12-2003 |
So far, we've got the infection tracked down to some rumored Spirit of Detroit patient zero. Not sure where they got it, though. | ||
Kathinozarks Member Username: Kathinozarks Post Number: 27 Registered: 11-2006 |
Just re-read my post and it is really schmarmy, isn't it? Hope it's not contagious, I like the gruffness and straight shooting of Detroiters. | ||
Gannon Member Username: Gannon Post Number: 7328 Registered: 12-2003 |
WAIT! I'm all about schmarmy. I'm actively trying to spread it around, too. Don't get me wrong...the Spirit of Detroit is a real thing...whenever I meet anyone who says the things you just did, I understand that its reach is great. There IS something different about this city... | ||

Andylinn Member Username: Andylinn Post Number: 260 Registered: 04-2006 |
Good shows there. Nice space. Renovation progress is a bit slow, but that's to be expected with what I would imagine is a small budget... It's well done. Good music. Saw Jazz there last night... Check it out. | ||
Kathinozarks Member Username: Kathinozarks Post Number: 32 Registered: 11-2006 |
Ha, ha Gannon! Sportinozarks! With my friends and family I shoot straight, but they know me and kind of love my sometimes brutal honesty. Now, with strangers it's a different story. We'll see how it goes. First impressions are lasting! | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 120 Registered: 11-2003 |
Andy, I agree completely. Great space and nice atmosphere. I too was at the show on Thursday. The HG Trio was incredible. Gannon, I had no problem finding it. | ||
Supersport Member Username: Supersport Post Number: 10954 Registered: 10-2003 |
Nip, Did you and Ndavies rub elbows? lol | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 121 Registered: 11-2003 |
No, actually we fought in the parking lot after the show. I took pity on him though, letting him walk away with only minor injuries. ;-) | ||
Ndavies Member Username: Ndavies Post Number: 2348 Registered: 10-2003 |
Sorry, I haven't been in a physical fight since I was 15. Only someone with limited intellect needs to physically fight in this day and age. | ||
Nip Member Username: Nip Post Number: 122 Registered: 11-2003 |
You're just bitter, that's okay. It's to be expected. BTW- You might want to rethink that "limited intellect" statement, based on what I've read, you seem pretty "challenged" yourself. | ||
Ndavies Member Username: Ndavies Post Number: 2349 Registered: 10-2003 |
Bitter? You've obviously never met me. I'm sure the people who know me are laughing at that statement. You're the one fantasizing about kicking my ass. I hold no ill will towards you. I just don't think very highly of you. If you don't want to hear from me, stop posting you're immature little rants aimed at me. | ||

I never take threats of physical harm as a joke. about 10 years ago I watched a usenet ski thread devolve into a physical beating. both the he aggressor and victim were fired from their jobs and the aggressor serving time for assault. All this from a simple chat about skiing techniques. | ||

a great place to see really interesting music, sometimes a bit chilly. A true Detroit experience. Parking is good, the hood is kinda desolate. I can tell you that they will never install mirrored walls and call it "Bohemianz". | ||

Please tell me where I actually threaten you, drama queen. Be careful with that word "Threaten", it also can get you fired and sent to jail, especially when you use it in false sense. Wow, you are really pathetic, try picking up a dictionary dumb ass. | ||

Yep. Went to a wedding at the venue. Very hip, urban and arty environment. Had a great time. Parked on a side street with no problem what so ever. The BoHouse is not your father's VFW hall so do as advised and make a personal visit. Decide if ones guests are up to making a venture into the heart of the D. |
