Show Review: Dave Hause at Spaceship Earth Coffee in McAlester, OK
As I’ve gotten older, sometimes when I go to shows I wish they’d sell coffee to keep me going throughout the show. It’s been done before, Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ used to sell coffee drinks during their Summer shows, and very rare other venues have too.

Seeing a show and getting coffee during a band’s set couldn’t be better, and that is exactly what happened in McAlester, OK during Dave Hause’s set on Saturday.

Opioid settlement fuels treatment center
PARK HILL – The $25 million price tag for a new drug and alcohol treatment center is paid for by opioid manufacturers the Cherokee Nation sued in 2017.

The Cherokee Nation also settled with e-cigarette maker Juul in 2022 over the company’s role in youth vaping.
