Alizon - So What About You

Smoken’ Joe’s was the happy host of the first meeting of the A/B Bike Group. Here’s what the Allston Brighton Community Blog had to say:

The meeting on Tuesday of Allston/Brighton bicyclists was a great success. Arriving a few minutes late, I could tell it would be a good meeting because of the many bikes on the sidewalk in front of Smoken Joe’s on Washington St. Inside I found 40 people filling the restaurant enthusiastic about making Allston and Brighton a better place for bicycling. There were some familiar faces like Alex Selvig and John Quatrale… Read More>>

Chris Ditunno, who has recently joined the team here at Joe’s, has organized a meetup here at Joe’s for local bikers. She asked that we post the details here to help spread the word for the event. Here are some of the details:

You are invited to join us for our first meeting on Tuesday 5/27/08 at 7pm at Smoken Joe’s BarBQ 351 Washington Street, Brighton Center. Please RSVP to cditunno@gmail.com if you plan to attend and… pass along to others who may be interested!

Our first meeting will be informal…

Proposed agenda: introduce ourselves, brainstorm, collect contact information. This meeting will be about 30 minutes, with time afterward to hang out for some refreshments /networking/socializing about bike issues in our community. (We expect to meet regularly with a more structured agenda in the future.)

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

We tried getting a mailing list going a while back but it was just too buggy to make it.  We’re giving it another shot.  Hopefully it’ll work a little better this time around.  You can subscribe to our newsletter below or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Last Friday was a blast. Shirley Lewis and Sweet Willie D put on a great show. Thanks to all that came by. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Here’s a clip of the finale:

Smoken’ Joe’s BBQ was the proud official caterer ( 2 Wednesdays ago ) for a special private show at The Roxy, where The Bravery were promoting their new CD, The Sun and The Moon.  They sounded pretty good, not quite the Blues, but they definitely know how to eat.

To kick off our newly available catering services, we provided some 500 concert goers with a bit of our fine Memphis BBQ.  We’ll have a special catering menu up and posted here soon.  If you can’t wait ’til then just give us a call, 617-254-5227.

By now the talented Shirley Lewis has graced us with enough performances for us to dub her our official house band.  She’s not going anywhere anytime soon but we always have room for one more.  We plan to have a few other musicians drop by in the future and so we thought we’d made it easier to keep track of everything with the addition of our new events calendar.
