Live Music

Its Friday and I just got back from watching some bands at this crap bar. i often make fun of my cousin for being the old man in the bar, but tonight I was at the Grog and tankard and I thought it was College night. After being hit up for five, getting a ridiculous stamp on my hand, the nights adventures began.

Just as an aside I forget that if you drink Miller Lite you can have about twenty of them before you feel anything.

The first band had Members that had too many varying influences. the bassist was defintely the Dead. The rythm Guitar was Dave Matthews, the lead Guitar was metal, the drummer was just banging away and the singer was a little self absorbed. You couldnt really hear anybody but the drummer. basically they really needed more practice.

I was with some friends and one of the girls in my entourage was checking a guy out from across the room. She was doing a horrible job of it; because she was basically staring at him the whole night. So eventual we started in on the Big Bear with claws comments, but we were getting no response from her. Finally the dude heads our way and another girl in our group grabs the man of the hour and chats him up all the while trying to bring in the starer. Nothing. She said three wors to him.

I dont get it. I know we all have confidence issues in that situation but dont girls know that they are at a distinct advantage.

So as we pelted here with insults and degrading comments the second band started.

By there dress I assumed a Ska band only to be meet with an early 80's cover band. Now I like Duran Duran as much as the next guy but when the band makes comments like, this song was written when we were born...well frankly its time to leave.

Girls you have the advantage use it. Guys say hi they worse that can hapopen is that they say no.

I need age appropriate venues
