Jaimoe keeps the Allman Brother’s sound alive at Infinity Hall
The Allman Brothers Band has a wild history that involves more than its share of death, drugs, booze and blues. The band played through several iterations from 1969 until 2014. For most of that time, it was powered by the rhythm and texture of its two drummers, Butch Trucks and the enigmatic Jaimoe. On Thursday, Nov. 12, Jaimoe will get back behind the drums to bring the music of the Allman Brothers to life with Friends of the Brothers at Norfolk’s Infinity Hall.

North East Historical Society’s annual meeting set for Nov. 14
There’s a corner of YouTube populated by real-time footage of high-dollar art sales from prestigious New York and London auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips. Hundreds of thousands of viewers routinely watch with rapt attention, popcorn and cocktails in hand, as recognizable pieces from art history make their way to the upper echelons of grossly unattainable hammer prices. Pieces can often start with opening bids of tens of thousands of dollars and work their way up to multiple millions. Bidding increments alone can grow to sums unattainable for the average American family in several lifetimes.

Eli Eats Blue Lobster and Sees Everything Seafood
Fall break is a much anticipated reprieve from college life, but it can also be a bit bizarre, especially if one is staying on campus to shoot their film project. It then gets really weird if that aforementioned project wraps by Saturday eve, meaning that one has three full days with nothing on the horizon. The campus is, in the words of ska revival band The Specials, “like a ghost town.” Friends have departed for warmer pastures. Professors are professing. There’s actually nothing to do, except Uber to the closest theater, the Picture Show in Berlin, Conn. (rest in peace Metro Movies), to see “You Can See Everything.” The good news is that, on the way, you can get lobster.
