Break out the cake, candles, streamers, party hats and lolly bags, because someone's having a birthday. Well, not just someone, but somewhere. And not just anywhere, but one of Fortitude Valley's favourite hangouts.
Yes, that slice of music heaven on Brunswick Street that is Black Bear Lodge has now been part of the inner-city scene for seven years. If that's not cause for celebration from 8pm on Saturday, February 9, then we don't know what is.
Trust the BBL crew to throw its own shindig (and cry if it wants to) to mark the occasion, and trust it to rope in a whole lot of other folks to make the evening something extra special, too. Signature Series will serve up Motown tunes, while James Wright, Black Amex and Adrian Beiers will help spin tracks as well. Be warned, there will a few birthday surprises — and possibly some cake. We would never joke about that.
