My night at the Record Bar
- 8:30 PM
- I got here early. Too early, in fact. The cover band was playing and I was alone in a sea of the middle aged mingling with the earliest arrivals of hipsters.
- My roommates were with me, but one of them were under 21, so they went to take her home. Now I’m sitting outside waiting for the rest of our crew.
- 9:14 PM
- Reward Tree just got here. That’s my friend’s band that we’re here to see. Finally someone here that I know.
- 9:30 PM
- Cooking Commerade is now here! It’s a blog party!
- 10:00 pm
- The first band, Brad Hoshaw & the Seven Deadlies just took the stage,and my roommate just got back with my car. I can now enjoy myself.
- Seven Deadlies is pretty folksy. I’m really digging them. Every night should be awesome music night.
- 10:30 PM
- Out on the patio, still rocking out to Seven Deadlies, and we just realized that we are hipsters.
- Crap.
- 10:49 PM
- Sad that some of my friends are missing this. These guys are great. Very southern rock out of Omaha, and half these songs are about whiskey.
- 10:56 PM
- Wishing my Dad was here. I think he’d really dig these guys. I think I’m going to buy their cd.
- 11:04 PM
- I bought their CD
- 11:29 PM
- Second band is doing sound check. We didn’t catch their name.
- 11:40 PM
- New band has female vocals. I’m a sucker for female vocals. Apparently, I’m the only one in the group that is.
- 11:48 pm
- New band sucks. We are all now ignoring the screeching and shitty keyboards and are tweeting to talk over the level of post-modern-emo-Evanessence-Pink-Floyd-wannabe band.
- They are like a crappy version of the Dresden Dolls.
- 12:27 AM
- Reward Tree is setting up and the last of our party has arrived. I also am now drinking a rum and coke. So far tonight was money well spent.
- 12:38
- James Bond drinks Vodka Martinis. Remember kids, designated drivers are cool. Reward Tree just started rocking out.
- Night well spent.
Every once in a while, you just have to go out with a bunch of friends and see some music.
Don’t forget, sometimes you just have to bounce around to the music.
