...PJ's Nite Club (1927 K St.) This superfly spot is hosting jazz musician Jeff Lorber this Friday for two shows at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. It's $25 to get inside. (Photo by Roger Hornbeck) PJ's owner Phillip Randolph (above) says he's trying to bring in more and more fun jazz/classic R&B acts and is even in talks to get Beltran back for a super-sized jazz gig. Keep your fingers crossed.

All right. Don't everyone jump up at once. Now who read the club review? Did you miss it? Click here (regs. required) and see what you've been missing. If you did read it, man, I didn't know you cared so much? People in this town take their partying seriously! I got more e-mails and calls from the club review than I've gotten for anything that I've written all year. Even more e-mails than my Brian "Head" Welch story when he announced he was leaving Korn for the Lord.

Heck, I even ended up on Ralph Bailey's radio show on KNZR by the end of the day.

Looks like I'm going to have to do more party spot coverage. I already do some, but it's been a little "spotty," so now I'm going to try to find interesting ways to give folks all the bar news they need and desire on the regular. That said, what's your favorite hot spot? Did I miss your watering hole du jour? I had a southwest reader who bemoaned the lack of southwest bars in my review and a limo service jumped in with their picks that I missed. Then both Valentin and Senor Pepes called wanting to get on my list of places to swing by and check out. So post below your favorite spots in and around town and I'll try to check them out.
