Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

And pops would get going around midnight
Ah, yes, Big Daddy. The first time I went to Subway he was playing. Too bad the smoking police killed the bar scene in Jackson.
Go back 30 years next time, KF, and bring up the Tangents at George Street.
And today? Almost nothing.
Why do we even bother living here?
5:07, you nailed it. We have big city problems such as crime, poor pubic education, inadequate infrastructure, but we don’t have any of the big city pluses.
Ah yes The Forum.
Jackson was once a great place. Not sure what happened or who/what to blame; maybe no one, maybe like always times change. Coming of age in the 80’s and 90’s was great fun with many different venues. Poets with that beautiful wooden semi-circle bar,, the Rez, the more I think about it, the names are so numerous. Anyway, it was a great time to live in this area.
Pyramid Club
You can still listen to these songs on YouTube.
I know many who left simply because of the pot holes. It's disgraceful.
There is plenty of live music just not the music the typical reader of this blog likes…..
It would be fantastic to have a time machine and go back to see the incredible Stefan Anderson at the Jolly Roger Lounge across from the old Capitol and later at the Poop Deck Lounge in the Quarter. My favorite was his version of "Desperado". I also loved "53 Buick"...."painted it with a broom, it had a BIG back seat and would go vroom, vroom, vroom.."
Of course, Skip Patridge at the Exchange Club was great...place was in the basement that is now Underground 119.
Life in the suburbs just isn’t the same. And this generation has no idea.
10:20, where?
Seriously, 10:20, where? List the venues and types of music. Especially considering you have no idea what kind of music I listen to.
You would have been smarter to just say the venues cater to younger people than who read this blog.
4:07 pm
Sugar Hill Club
Countless other AA clubs
5:24 I would wager that none of these clubs have live music, just a dj. And clubs like that existed back in the day as well. The difference is back then you had the live music AND the clubs. Now, just the clubs.
Still, the question is begged. Why are we living here? And before you yell "low cost of living," that low cost is because we don't have any of the recreation that other cities have. Demand is low.
10:27 Don't believe the Exchange club was where 'Underground 119' is now.. think it was in the Capitol Towers basement? Still.. good times.
West of the tracks was always suspect, but then it expanded North, South, and East. With the entry of crime, came the exit of people wanting a safe haven. And, the inner city, after-work crowd, didn't want to hang around after dark, either.
And back then, a DUI would run you $1800-2000 to get out from under.....today, call it $8000+ the terror that it still may not be enough. Nope, not taking that chance just to have some rowdy fun.
It's always sucked in some form. I quit clubbing once meth took over fully.
Kathryn's has fun bands from time to time and the people watching is extraordinary.
Certainly an older crowd but I enjoy watching the elder generation dance as opposed to the seizures that pass for moves on The Tik Toc
Anyone want to start a new cover band called "Socially Distant" ? "Masked Among Men" ? 3 JABS DOWN ? Covid and the Fauciites ?
