In the downstairs space, Jennifer Herrema (ex Royal Trux) was playing with her current band, RTX. I saw that for a while, but it sounded like early Metallica meets Guns and Roses.

There were still a lot of people in the bar area who didn't have tickets that peeked in anyway. I don't think you really needed a ticket. =P

I got in without one. Went up to see my bro and we just walked in all casual like. I think it helped to be slightly drunk (but not too much) because then people just seemed to want to leave us alone. It was a fair to good show.

I tried to get into the bar, and the guy asked to see my ticket. I guess after a certain time he probably stops checking. Good to know for next time!

Ha, the guy looked at us like what do you old washed-up hipsters think you're doing, then looked the other way and we walked right in. I guess he didn't want to bother checking our AARP cards for a discount.

i have been in the same building as you at the same time?
oh my lord.

gmku · 03.05.2008, 08:04 AM

Yeah, freaky. And there were two of us. Sort of. From the same gene pool anyway. Me and a version of me 10 years earlier, more hair essentially. My brother even gets into the same kind of music as me 10 years after I do. It's weird. I thought at least this way we might be in synch on at least one band at the same time. He wasn't as blown away by them as I was.

If I told you what we were wearing, maybe you'd remember how memorable we were. I was in my gray Oleg Cassini sport coat, AE slim jeans, brown suede shoes and a blue silk shirt. Brian was wearing an old brown leather jacket, an embarrassing Beatles Let It Be T-shirt, and some Nike shoes. You got the cool brother (me) and the uncool one. What can I say.

Cantankerous · 03.05.2008, 08:17 AM

nope. didn't see any old dudes walking around.

gmku · 03.05.2008, 08:22 AM

Must be cuz we don't look old! At least in the right light.

Cantankerous · 03.05.2008, 08:23 AM

must be.

gmku · 03.05.2008, 08:29 AM

I'm still recovering though. I had to get up early Wed, drive my brother to the airport, then drive all the way back. Woke up this morning with a terrific sinus headache. I'm taking it easy, work can wait. A little Spacemen 3 is helping.

Cantankerous · 03.05.2008, 08:31 AM

i've taken another week off work for medical purposes
i can't bear another week laying about in bed though

gmku · 03.05.2008, 08:37 AM

When I'm sick, I camp out in front of the TV or stereo.

Cantankerous · 03.05.2008, 08:39 AM

i've got a television in there although i don't ever actually watch TV. i have to get out of here.

val-holla-ing · 03.05.2008, 12:10 PM

okay, how bout someone tell me about how great growing was. kthnx.

gmku · 03.05.2008, 12:14 PM

I'm not a Growing fan, so I don't have a basis for comparison. Okay, I guess.

val-holla-ing · 03.05.2008, 12:15 PM

uhler · 03.07.2008, 12:31 PM
