After returning from FME in Rouyn-Noranda, I had a few days back home, before I had to head to Philly for the fifth installment of Asian Arts Initiative’s Sound Type Music Festival and Music Writers Workshop. Much like the July session, this trip was a quick 36 hours in town.
After a food demonstration-based seminar, I wound up with the city’s esteemed Black music journalist, John Morrison, some folks from Next City, and a colleague from the writers cohort at The Trestle Inn. The Trestle Inn reminded me a bit of The Fat Black Pussycat and other dives I used to frequent — but with DJs and go-go dancers at night.
The sign, which is pictured above, just struck me as being perfect for that sort of bar.
