Westenburg is leaving ackson Hole for “PDX” next week, but ot before spinning one last hurrah at tone Table restaurant Saturday night. Though Stone Table is closed for the ff-season (parties of <strong>10</strong> or more can ake special arrangements), it has omentarily become an “in” spot for pontaneous deejay parties. A mixed crowd piled into the small apas restaurant last weekend, as DJ ikey Thunder commandeered the mpromptu dance party with the help of a isiting deejay. Behnibubu, who will join Mikey hunder this weekend for his farewell erformance, said he will spin the blend f dub step, glitch and glitch-hop that haracterized the unique Jamaican-influnced sound he helped bring to the valey, polishing his own style along the way. oors will probably open after <strong>10</strong> p.m. o cover charge is expected. –Ben Cannon ■ Enthusiasts of recreating in the snowy Stop by <strong>The</strong> Liquor Store for the COLDEST BEER in town … or join us in the Saloon for DAILY drink specials HAPPY HOUR Mon-Fri 4-7pm GALAXY HOMETOWN friendly people 733-2792 750 W.
