No more old-school hip-hop Thursdays at the Slip Inn
Stopped by Minc last night for the first Ghetto Blaster Thursday, an old-school hip-hop night with A. One and Phooka. Both of them usually spin this at the Slip Inn on Thursdays. But, unfortunately for the night's longtime fans, the bar owners recently decided to change the format -- the Slip Inn Thurs, according to what I'm told, is now house and Top 40.
I loved Thursdays at the Slip Inn, and I'm happy the DJs are moving to a cool venue. But house and Top 40 at one of the coolest dive bars in Dallas? It hurts. That kind of stuff belongs on Lower Greenville, or at an ultra lounge downtown. The whole point of going to the Slip Inn is because it isn't mainstream -- it's one of the few places where 'hood folks, SMU kids, hipsters and drunks can all dance and be sweaty and maybe hook up.
So disappointing to think that may not happen anymore.
On a brighter note, keep up with Minc's MySpace (or A.One and Phooka's) because they will be launching a "grand opening" of the new Thursday night format at the bar. Last night was fun, but they needed more people.

I can't believe Slip Inn would do something that stupid. Unbelievable...
