PRF BBQ at Workshop 4200

Nonagon, Cell Phones at Brinkman Haus

Tiny's 50th birthday celebration.  Did another band play that we listened to from the yard?  I think so - I seem to recall the singer sounded like Johno, but wasn't.

Cell Phones at Quenchers

Before the show, Amy and i went to the Northside Gala and mostly hung out with Patreeecia, her husband Jon and her friend Sandra.  This is notable for two reasons:  (1) Jo started dating Sandra's daughter Olivia the following week and, as of this writing (Dec 2017), still is; and (2) i was wearing a suit and (bow)tie.

Amy dropped me at the show, to mooch a ride home with Annie.  I think i missed most of the first band.  Annie introduced me to the singer of the Cell Phones (whose name i should remember, but of course do not).  She said she liked the suit, and that's how she'd want to dress if she were a man.  I should have replied "me too," but, alas, i did not.  Another missed opportunity.

We skipped out early on the last band too.  I think they played music about Watership Down, but maybe that was some other night.

PRF BBQ at Township

I had a lot of fun at this show.  A lot of times these shows turn into a slog to get to the music i like.  That was most definitely not the case here.  Was it the company?  Dunno.  Was it the awesome bands (none of whom i really knew beforehand)?  Dunno.  Was it the vegan smoked seitan sammiches?  Dunno.  Maybe i was just in a festive mood for a change.

I stopped at Jeri's Grill on the way home with Annie, Ize and Tiny.  For those of you scoring at home: yes, that was two nights in a row.  We had the same kind waitress, but there was clearly a different cook working the grill.  The hash-browns with giardineira were good, but not as good.

Either at the show or when i got home, i bought a bunch of musical highlights:  Burned or Buried, Motherfucker, OUT and the entire Cell Phones discography (which came on a thumb drive that looks like a hotel key - i got #10 because #13 was taken).
