I don't know Bonnie, Otto's is the kinda place where you might get mistaken for being their dirty mop. But I betcha you get more business there from all the baseball-capped-flannel-shirted faux truck drivers than you'll get from the bridgeworkers down on Delancy.
Hattie was truly amazing last night. The kids got to see what "legendary" really means. Not since Loreta B. DeMille has Hattie been so good. Unless of course, you count her on Broadway but hey... it's much cheaper to see her at CORNHOLE COUNTY!
I also loved Dirty Martini's interpretive version of "Jolene". It was a cross between Dolly and Patti Smith doing "Horses". (You had to be there)
The "CORNHOLE PICKERS" rocked as usual and the "Ladies' Tambourine Auxiliary" was in full effect. They just get better and better every week.
This is the funnest party in New York right now. Get to it soon before Sweetie gets any thinner and a breeze comes up and blows her away.
I agree with Daddy. You'll get to rub elbows, uh, or whatever, with total legends and have your pick of burly debutantes. Country folk have no pretensions and even somone like Bonnie is recognized for what she is...savory and biting!
Not that I'm biased, but Hattie was fierce-tastically corn-pone dead-on righteous. I'm sure Loretta Lynn is beaming from wherever she is - oh, she's not dead...or is she?
And Sweetie: Doll, you look AMAZING these days! You're gettin' dang close to Shania Rendezvous territory. Eat some chikkin 'n biskits, would ya? (Or as my pawpaw used to call 'em, "chikkin 'n cat-heads").
Gaw-lee Mr. Joe, Edie and Jamie wuz jes' settin' at the bar at Cornhole 'n tellin' me 'bout seein' Lo- retta at Maw-hegan Sun las' month so she shore ain't ded! She war at the Hammer- stine's a coupla years ago wit' the White Stripes too...
Dayum, she been tourin' since she was 12... jes' like Whitey!

" Lord I hope it ain't twins again!!" Hattie BROUGHT IT!!!! This coming Wednesday is our Thanksgiving Fair. Bridget Everett who literally blew the lid off the house her first go round returns for an encore along with JonJon Battles taking a turn on the mic. I will read Dolly Partons "Coat of Many Colors" storybook. There will be live stock, canned goods, a pie eating contest and a kissing booth!!
Not only does she own the haunted plantation, but she owns the whole ding dang town! Including the parkway, the campground, and Loretta's Kitchen & Gift Shop (pictured.) Not sure what the bison signifies. Maybe they serve it.
Just in case y'all wanted to know, courtesy of Jeff Yarnell, whose site is heah:
"Loretta Lynn makes no bones about the fact that she thinks her antebellum plantation house in Hurricane Mills, TN is haunted. If you catch her hour long special every October on the History channel, you'll see that she is a firm believer in several ghosts, including a lady in white who haunts the family graveyard that sits on the property, a confederate soldier (19 are supposedly buried around the property), rattling chain noises that come from an area that was once used for punishing slaves, and the violent spirit of the home's former owner. Lynn, who also owns the entire village, offers tours of the big house, and has a campground near it as well. After taking Exit 143 off Interstate-40, travel eight miles north along the scenic Loretta Lynn Parkway. Look for entrance to Loretta Lynn Family Campground on left, marked by many directional signs. Open April - Oct (931)296-7700"
Dang, if I wasn't a-gwine thar fer Thanksgin' I would shore be at Cornhole to see Miz Everett sang agin!

Hey Sweetie, I still think you oughta put some classy beds in the back room. I was at DUVET again last night with that hottie Dan Fudim an he had me down on one a them beds an well... my "large frosted-glass donut tray" will never be the same!
Anyhooo... I saw this outside of seven's building this morning when I was coming home. I thought you an Daniel might wanna drag it over to CORNHOLE. I'd help but I ain't walkin' too good yet. I guess I got "Fudim-ed" good last night!
Yeah Bon hon, that mattress got wore out when me, the Hatfields and the McCoys, all slathered pork fat on our share-cropper physiques and did the Deep Hollow Dry Well Dive together last Wednesday. I tried callin you up but just got your "You can find me at the Arco-food store-truck lot-tire dump-hubcap broker-produce stand-and Six Fingers Inbred Support Group rest stop right next to the Drive Through Cancer Ward." message.
My downstairs neighbors are tryin to sue me for all the plaster we knocked off a their ceiling.
Don't worry though, the bridgeworkers from down on Delancy gave me the futon from the tool shed. The only thing bout that though is my landlord came by today saying he swore he smelled you.
