Up and Down the 55
Aug. 12th, 2003 07:54 pm Yesterday I went to see Robin Kivlin's band Jack Bighead at Hogue Barmichaels. As always they rocked out and were awesome. They're kinda like Solemite or Locale AM.
The place was pretty sketchy.. they were trying to get more money from the band than had been agreed upon.... originally the band was to keep all profits over the first 50 tickets sold, but then the place started demanding all other profits and they were like "uhhh go suck yourself."
And the door man was "the angriest person ever." That guy definitely had a complex. He kept shouting at people but he did it in a way that no one took seriously. I was helping the band move equipment in and out and I don't know how many times he told me I couldn't go in and out.. but I still definitely did. He didn't even take my ticket. And he exed out my hands without even asking for ID. My friend/twin Brad (I think that was his name? from Robin's last party) showed ID and got scrutinized for like ten minutes by the man.
From there I went up the 55 to a a Wild Rivers official party at this roller-rink just to make an appearance. Was there for a bit. Called Allie who I was supposed to hang out with and lived in that area, but no response. Then I went back down the 55 to where the afterparty for Robin's show was supposed to be.. got to the street in question but hadn't been given the address... tried calling Robin but no response so I had to return home.
Was planning on stopping diedrichs for free pizza hut since it was appx midnight when I rolled by.. pulled into the parking lot, saw two cop cars there, kept on moving...
There are a number of things I keeep forgetting to put in the lj and I remember like while I'm at work... so.. this is in honour of those things I guess.
Now its time to see about those straight edge kids.
