Night Eagle Cafe is moving to Bingo (binghamton)


There is a coffee house in the little town of Oxford (Rt 12 near Norwich) that has been the one of my favorite places for over 10 years. It's name is the Night Eagle (another name for the owl). I started going there to see Vance Gilbert -- a folk/comedian. I know, folk musicians are supposed to be sad creatures -- how did the folk scene end up with a comedian?). Vance sings original folk music which is very serious, but his performances are peppered with his quips and jokes. He is great and he is appearing there this month (December 22) for the last show in Oxford, NY.

I am glad Ken has found a new home in a bigger town. The cafe needs the exposure and the audience. But I am feeling a little nostalgia towards Oxford and the performances I have attended there.

It is a bittersweet announcement.

I love playing online bingo and have been playing ever since I started university, I have been lucky a few times and had a few wins which have financed my personal life!! Its weird though when I recommend it to mates they don’t seem interested in playing, I think some people still see bingo as an old ladies hobby.
