I was there the last night they were open. Firecracker Jazz Band was playing, and it was a wild and bittersweet time. Damn. Thanks for the Memory Lane sidetrip.

It was a coffee shop, pick another and move on. Times change.
I miss that dive. It was smokey, dirty, loud, and the bathroom was probably the creepiest place in town. But that is precisely what made it fantastic. There were always brooding artists and writers in residence at the tables. Good times…
This makes me SO nostalgic. I was just talking with some friends this past weekend about how much we miss Vincent’s Ear. Losing it created such a void.
Mad Tea Party really cut our musical teeth there.
Not that we don’t love other Asheville venues, too. It’s just that Vincent’s Ear was really something special.

Sadly, nothing has come even close to replacing it.

Damn I miss that place sometimes.
