Post Show Banter >>>>

After four outdoor summer shows, I hit my first indoor show...Durand Jones and the Indications.

I agree with Challenged...they put on a great show. We missed the opening act, but two of their female members did double duty as backup singers for the headliner. Most people around us stayed masked. My wife said she noticed staff doing a good job of enforcing masking. I enjoyed being able to moved around a bit in the back, helping to alleviate my body pains.

I had a few beers before show at this friends place which was cool cause he is moving out finally from this place he has rented since the mid 90s! I shit you not. So one last time at his place

Drinking before a concert? Will someone think of the children? - Space.

Let me clarify. When I said that, i was objecting to the idea of sitting in your car drinking before a show. That seems like a loser thing to do.

Going to a brewery, restaurant, bar, friend's hour and having a beer or two before a show (or at any time in life) is cool. Getting shitfaced before a show (which no doubt is going to make you act like an asshole in public), or sitting in your car drinking, are loser things to do.

The end.

Someone fire up the Meme MEGATHREAD.

Sorry, but probably less than 5% of my vacations are spend in breweries. I'll stop sharing my reports on them if you don't enjoy them.

Some people fly to shitholes like Kansas City to see live music during a pandemic. To me, that's the height of stupid (even if it's not a pandemic.)

Actually was a cool town. Was surprised.

Serious question.  and not meant to be judgmental. Did you feel guilty spending money in a Red State?

No. The idea that the denizens of Oklahoma City — or any large city in red states — are some Trump loving buffoons is just not accurate. I’m supposed to not patronize Raleigh, Oklahoma City, Asheville, Boise, or any other number of great places to punish some hicks who live a hundred miles away? Nothing says support for our blue brethren like writing off 45% of them because they happen to live in a state that is not yet Blue.

Smells like a Space back pedal to me.

Ok, good answer. I will use it as an argument the next time my brother, wife, or anyone else try to posit their I never want to vacation vim a rec state ideas.

That said, I ain't going to Texas

If you can find the original post, feel free to dredge it up. Perhaps at the time I misstated what I meant. What I fmeant is that I think it's stupid to get drunk before a concert, and pathetic at our ages. I'm also glad my 14 yo thinks this way, and hope she continues to do so.

There’s a difference between drinking and getting drunk.


Having a few drinks before a concert is not getting drunk.


Nobody cares what you think is pathetic.  You on the other hand seem to really care and have a need to tell everyone. Does it make you feel superior or better than others? It’s something you do a lot and it’s annoying as fuck

I mean I don’t sit around telling you all the things that are kind of pathetic about your life?! You want me to? Well, likewise I really think you should tone down the judging…. Calling cities shitholes?

Nobody ever said getting drunk before a show was cool… you came down on pregaming… getting together with friends before a show for a few drinks is part of the fun for many…if you don’t like it that’s your problem

[Starsky]

Damn space stop getting on your holier than though soapbox

You sound like one of those prohibition nuts

[WALKonBack]

Ahhh, the smell of men fighting.

[Space Freely]

Bored with this conversation. Someone else please talk about a show they went to.

FWIW, i did have a glass of wine with dinner at Barcelona last night, then a beer at District Garden before the show last night.

And what is wrong with calling a city a shithole? It's not like you're judging a person, you're judging a city.
