Allow me

Hello friends. Obo Cafe had this week its first darts contest. Concentration, nerves, competitiveness, drinks, fun...we had everything. A real success! A bunch of you came, some of you even had more luck than the others..but at the end, it wasn't that important who won. This was the first of the several contests to be held. And next time, we are sure there will be even more in the basement, gathering for a game.

The world's #1 vodka (not accidentally we have this vodka in our menu.. oh and btw the shots given out Friday were made out of the same vodka ) invites you to be restless, to be inventive, to be extraordinary, to be able to say 'I was There'. Were you There...at Obo Cafe? We had some nice oldies music and full house. We even ran out of beer. Everyone had a great time. Dancing and party means two times more fun. So, this is a special request! Get a move on, have your legs and your body go with the flow, with the music. I guarantee you all, besides having good drinks and fun with your friends, dancing goes along well with the spirit of Obo Cafe. Have some more fun. See you next time. CHEERioS!

STREET INTERVIEW: Joey Marchy



Joey, the architect of the Urban Jacksonville Blog, is a strong community advocate focused on his community and the city he calls home. With his eyes on neighborhood development and politics, he continues to unroll fresh ideas and projects for Jacksonville as he networks closely with other urban advocates and community organizers. You can catch him on episodes of Urban Jacksonville Weekly or enjoying a good beer and a great venue catching up with friends.


Favorite place to get a drink in Jax?
Joey: Underbelly in 5 Points and Shantytown.

What do you think is the best kind of activism to get into in 2010?
Joey: Any. We need more people to get involved and do things on their own. No one is going to throw that art show or start that blog for you. We, as a city, have to take control of our future and make it what we want it to be.

Important Jacksonville landmark?
Joey: Wormans and Carl's on Main Street

What is the glass if not half empty and not half full?
Joey: I think we need to dump the water out of the glass and smash it against the wall. This city needs to be re-engineered and rethought.

How old is Urban Jacksonville?
Joey: Our born date is 6-17-2005

Turn the table on me, and ask me a question…
Joey: What is the future of JaxScene without Tom P, it's founder and architect?
David: I think although Tom has announced his move he will always be unanimous with Jaxscene. Tom has put a lot of energy into this blog, as well as countless coverage of local events, well before REAX came to Jacksonville, or even before the existence of JaxScene. I have no doubt that even if he doesn’t post here, he will have a hand in the growth of JaxScene. From March 08 until now my involvement with JaxScene has been guided closely by Tom. We have worked out new ideas for how the blog should be, but he always let me do what I wanted to if it was cool. One of which was the last redesign of the blog. He instilled in me the focus of why he started it; Music, Art, Community. Also, from not being here, he as played a part in my own reconciliation with where I live and how cool it can really be. In the coming months I want to focus on those strong suites. I want to bring on more energy of those who want to contribute to support our local events and show more media from events that you may not have had a chance to see. As you predicted correctly, I am also working on a redesign to reduce the side gutter clutter and bring an aesthetic focus to media. By the way Tom is bringing back The Hum.

What is your super power?
Joey: Making free time disappear.

Make up an unnecessary quote.
Joey: I didn't make this up, it's from Michael Hyatt the CEO of Tomas Nelson Publishers » "When times are tough, vision is the first casualty. Before conditions can improve, it is the first thing we must recover."

Your favorite album so far in 2010?
Joey: The Stimulus Package - South Rakkas Crew.

Anything else you would like to add?
Joey: Last Saturday, I hosted a LIVE version of Urban Jacksonville Weekly at the Burrito Gallery. We talked to Ian Ranne of Shantytown Pub and Hip Hop Hell Records and had special guest sets by Tough Junkie.

What to wear? That is the question

Here are some of the things I know I will be bringing on my trip. I am leaving tonight to stay with my mom in Fayetteville, and then we are heading to Tulsa first thing in the morning, hoping we can fly out before the ice storm hits. I hear it is going to be quite CHILLY here in Arkansas...and it will be a low of 20 degrees at night in NYC, which is perfectly fine with me! I love a cold winter day, all bundled up in scarves and boots and jackets...walking around the most beautiful city in the world! I havent even started packing, except for in my mind. I thrive on procrastination...at least I tell myself that!
These are the things that are already in my suitcase in my mind...

warm, toasty, puffy jackets and vests

Rachel Pally dress, can be worn on or off the sholders
%50 off here



Joseph bought me these wonderful, comfy MIA boots for Christmas

Im sure there will be lots of leggings, skinny jeans, dresses and cardigans in tow!
I will bring back lots of pics!

ciao for now
Mo

Wish Upon A Star Bracelets - For Ladies With Addictions!!


I thought it was time that I post something in my blog - it's been way too long! It's been a crazy month in my day job, as I knew it would be. I dislike (that's being nice) the month of January because of all the special requests for reports, auditors, and reporting to our owners in their special reporting format. We are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel even though it still is quite a distance away. We'll finish up just in time to begin the fun all over again in a new month!

As usual, I get side tracked - the reason for my post!!!

Do you have a purse addiction, a shoe addiction, do not take enough "me" time for starters? These cute little charm bracelets are designed with you in mind!! As a child, and even now sometimes just in case it truly does work, I used to look up at the first star in the night sky and say the following:

Star Light,
Star Bright,
First Star I See Tonight.
I Wish I May,
I Wish I Might,
Get The Wish I Wish Tonight!

Have you ever done that? Well, let me introduce you to the Make A Wish Bracelets! They all have a star charm on the extender that is to be used to make your wishes!!

I Wish I Had More Purses is for the lady that can't step into a famous purse store without hyperventilating and won't leave the store without making a purchase of some kind. This bracelet is to warn anyone around her that she breaks for purse stores!!

I Wish I Owned A Shoe Store is for the lady with all those fancy schmancy name brand high heel shoes that you absolutely can't walk in without pinching your toes. Also for that pile of shoes in the closet that go with every article of clothing she owns.

I Wish I Had More Time For Tea is for the lady that doesn't get enough "ME" time during the week. This bracelet is to remind her that she needs to take time to drink tea and relax; life is stressful enough and things will wait.

I Wish Everyone Could Find Mr. Right is for a variety of ladies - the matchmaker who is always trying to fix up a friend with the perfect guy; the bride to be who wants everyone to be as happy as she is; and the lady who has been with the perfect guy for almost 30 years and wish everyone could find a guy like him!

I Wish For A Healthy Bundle Of Joy is for the mom to be, who is expecting her first, second, or even fourth child. It doesn't matter, she justs wants a healthy baby and wants the world to celebrate with her.

I Wish Calories Didn't Count is for the lady who is tired of being on a diet and wishes she could eat anything and not feel quilty and not gain weight just by looking at something fattening!

I Wish I Had A Green Thumb is for the lady who absolutely takes pleasure in working in her garden and reaping the benefits of being able to eat the delicious veggies all year long or enjoying the blooming flowers all summer long. It is also for the lady who wish she could grow beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables instead of weeds!

I Wish I Could Live By The Ocean is for the lady who dreams of summers spent at the beach with the scents, the sounds, and the relaxing waves gently lulling her to sleep at night.

I Wish I Could Find Something To Wear is for the lady who has clothes of all sizes in her closet that just can't seem to find the right outfit. It looked nice when she bought it but things have gone south over the years.

There will be others if these do well. One favorite is I Wish It Were All About Me for the lady who wants to have it all and be the center of attention!

They all have different gemstones between the charms to give them some color and are definitely a great conversation piece. They are available on my website, so check them out if you have time! Special requests are always welcome!! Enjoy :o)
