Brian Templeton tonight @ The Dave Sag’s Blues Party 8:30pm * The Rhumb Line 7.20.2017
Thursday at the Rhummie, the spine-tingling Mr. Brian Templeton returns. This 6 foot 6 golem of the blues makes Foghorn Leghorn sound like Jackie Kennedy! Pipes like the Groaner in the harbor! A pure pleasure to listen to. Plus he’s dragging in the esteemed David Mattacks and six-fingered Billy Loosigian to tighten the thumbscrews. Even worse, we get to do it all over again at the Smile Marker on Sunday (5 to 8). So either (or both) Thursday and Sunday c’mon down and let him squeeze the cider out of your Adam’s

Hours
‘The Z’ is open for rides everyday at 11am until October. Closing times vary and occasionally we will have to close early due to inclement weather.

Location
‘The Z’ is the centerpiece of a temporarily revitalized ramp parcel (known as “Parcel 12”), whose development remains in a joint State/City planning phase. This summer, Parcel 12 will be a place for families, friends, and independent explorers to ride a zipline, observe public art and hang out in our iconic Adirondack furniture!

For the people that keep asking- here’s the link to The AWESOME Cheap Cool Light Sensor Night Lights. Does anyone that got them love them as much as I do?
They are an absolute no-brainer purchase. They emit a slightly warm hue that gives just enough light at night so you can walk around without flipping lights on or off (also allow me to pee in the toilet instead of guessing if it’s a straight shot into the bowl).
The are a small enough footprint that they allow you to still use the other plug in a two plug outlet. They only cost 30 cents to run for an entire year. They have a sensor that turns them off when there’s enough light that they aren’t needed. Totally ingenious, totally cheap, but they look really nice.
You can buy them on Amazon on sale now for $11.49 (normally $15.99) 28% savings
