Harlan Flo is hitting the highway again this month to return to Charleston and Carbondale, IL.

Saturday November 14th HF will continue southward to Carbondale with plans to rock the house at Tres Hombres. Tres is a full service mexican restaurant/bar and the number one live music venue in Carbondale. Stay tuned for many pics and stories... (including but not limited to college partying, dingy motels, and less than sanitary conditions!)

Lebowski Halloween

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 23:01:11 -0600

Thanks to everyone who joined us this Halloween for a special “Lebowski” themed party. Harlan Flo played several numbers from the sound track including “The Man In Me” - Bob Dylan, “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)” - Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, and of course who could forget the spanish version of “Hotel California” sung by the Gypsy Kings. The cast included Jungle Dog as “The Dude”, Chris Swade as “Walter”, Amanda Riva as “Maud” and Patrick Dugan as “Donny”. Did i forget to mention that the dance floor was temporarily converted into a bowling alley thanks to a $15 Walgreens bowling set. Thats right, “The Dude Abides”!!
