We went to see The Mighty Blue Kings, at The Rave (that's the name of the theater). I parked on the same side street (the theater is in a not so nice part of town) that I always do.
I had one of these "Free tickets" that cost you ten dollars to get in - two drink minimum. So I's cashing it in, and I realized I only had nine bucks on me. So I had to walk back to my car to scrounge coins from the ashtry. I apparently had done this recently, so there was only about a buck twenty there. So I was walking back, and I passed a bus stop on the way. I thought a guy was going to ask me for change, but he said,
"Ssup."
"Hey."
"You need a nice VCR?"
"Nope."
"Aight."
Sure enough, there was a VCR, sittin on the bench behind him.
So the show was okay. The Blue Kings are great, but the sound sucked. Not a good mix, and muddy. One of the guys who was with us is a pipe organ technician, so he really knows his ound. I asked him what efffect the tall beams in the ceiling had. He said they break up the bass, so they have to compensate by turning it up, and that's why the vocals were undermixed. Anyway...
When we left, there were two cars broken into on the street where I parked.
After the show we went to Fanny's. Dave talked the place up (or is that down?) like this rough lesbian bar - very butch. "Oh, they'll kick your ass!" Suzanne was all scared., but Dave said, "oh don't worry. They'll leave you alone. You're too pretty." Steve and Suzanne chickened out, saying they had to work in the morning.
We got a few looks, being three guys, but other than that, it was nice. Bright, not very smoky. Clean (and the cleanest men's room you'll ever see in a bar).
