Joshua Tree Beatnik Cafe

Last night I went out to grab a bite to eat and I stumbled upon this little cafe called Beatniks.  I had driven by it several times before and it really didn’t look like anything special.  Tonight, however, the parking lot was jammed pack, so I figured they must have good food and I was starving.

I went inside and discovered that they were having an open mic night.  This place was jam packed, mostly (if not all) with townees…I think I stuck out like a sore thumb.  Anyway, I had a sandwich (don’t even rememeber what I ate) and beer and I just stood way in the back and started listening…these people rocked!  Beatles, Pete Townshend, originals, fun songs, sing alongs, acoustic and electric guitar, it was all good.

About four hours, 15 performance and many beers later, I had to get out of there.  Thanks to Beatniks for a great last night in Joshua Tree and kudos to the all of the artists who performed…you are all very talented and more importantly know how to have a good time.
