The laptop has been drinking, not me...

In Prague. Just got back to the hostel from a night out on the town. It's about 2am on Sunday... Really an early night if you compare to last night where I was out at a bar until about 4am . An intersting place it was. None of the workers or patrons were Czech. There were people from all sorts of other places around the world (Canada, States, Denmark, UK, various places in Africa).


So the real reason I'm posting is the place I hit tonight. Name of Blues Sklep. Initially a bunch of old guys playing jazz. Really well... Not only was the music great but the venue was great too. In the basement of a building in some old side alley. Exposed stone walls and arches (and shit...). The musicians were a bunch of old Czech guys, all of them were really good. A sax, a piano, an acoustic guitar, an upright bass and a set of drums.

After the first set they added a trombone and a chick singing. Even better times! Especially with 1/2 litre Czech beer for less than 30 koruna (that's just over $2US or a bit over a pound). Definitely think I'll be going back on Sunday.
