...good enough that his training unit at boot camp had him design a bulldog logo for their T shirts. Jocelyn knows he's running low on drawing supplies when she receives the rare letter home, asking for more colored pencils and notebooks. Jim also "draws a mean Sonic," another computer-game character that's a favorite of her first-graders. The kids know Jocelyn's son is in the war, and "they ask all the time if he's O.K.," she says.

...club resides right next to fellow sonic haven the Middle East and shares a lot of the same clientele. Both are great places to hear local, national and international acts of varying genres, but T.T.’s is smaller and more comfortable than the Middle East Downstairs. And while the Middle East Upstairs is tinier than T.T.’s, the former venue’s poor acoustics make T.T.’s decent sound quality seem great...
