Golden State Warrior Stephen Jackson is having his burfday partay on Friday at Mezzanine and you're invited... for $40. Snoop D O double G will be performing! Man. Snoop a Loop performs at all the fun parties.. Um, and for the hybrid nerdy gamers / rap fans out there, please listen to this mashup of Snoop and Kirby's Dreamland. Good golly Miss Molly, it's oh so good.

We're sad we'll be missing out on J.J. Cale at Bimbo's on Thursday; Cale wrote "Cocaine" and "After Midnight", covered by Clapton, and has just released Roll On, which we've been grooving to lately.
