are we less of a night owl city than we once were?

Thanks. I'll send that one to my wife to offer evidence for going to Po'Belly's over her favored Chipotle.

 Chipotle's Chicken Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, and salsa) weighs in at nearly 1,000 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat.
 
 Chipotle's Vegetarian Burrito (with black beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, and salsa) weighs over a pound and provides 1,120 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat (14 grams).
 
 Chipotle's Barbacoa Burrito (with shredded beef, pinto beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa) hits nearly 1,300 calories and three-quarters of a day's worth of saturated fat. That's the equivalent of a Quarter Pounder, a large order of fries, and a large Coke.

ok, then let's have the shows at 9 instead of 8. Which is when the opener goes on at Iota and 9:30 on worknights, which I said was tolerable.

  In this area, in the evening, a "pinch" is 20-30 min. to get food at one of the places you mention. So add that amount of time to Sonick's schedule above. Add 5-8 min. if you have someone with you.
 Not all of us have or want the luxury of a food court close-by. If we all did that before every show, we'd be the obese people you think we are.
 Sure, you can eat at the club or another venue  (if food is offered). Often, by the time you actually get inside the venue, and if a show is sold out, it's difficult to manage and not miss even more of the show. Buying food at a venue is an option, but not the most healthy and tacks on the $.

  Well if you're getting an hour for lunch, that's 8-8.5 hours of work, which is reasonable. If you were in DC (I realize you're not), you could easily grab some faast food and make it to and 8PM show.
 

havent you talked of how you hate fast food on this board before?  others do too           [/b]

Are you implying that there's anything wrong with this? Personally, it's not the life I choose, but if someone else is that way, what does it matter?

 I do NOT feel the need to see every band.  I probably miss about 70-80% of openers.  Just can't devote *that* much time (I already devote a lot of time....).  I'm not quite sure what you were getting at Sonick...

some people i know are on a mystical conquest to see every band they've ever heard of live.
 
    you strike me as one of those people. just an observation. [/b]

There are plenty of jobs where you can work 8 hours and not harm or hinder your career.  Like mine for example.  I know lots of people who work tons of hours and do crap work.  If you get your work done well in 8 hours, it makes no difference.  It really depends what you do for a living and where you work.

Agreed. That's why I said that one wouldn't necessarily advance their career by working 8 hour days. In my field one is not likely to have much of a career working only 8 hour days irrespective of how good a job one does, but that is of course not true for all fields.

I didn't read it that way. My apologies...muddled again...

  There's no reason for shows to go on as late as they do. I'll bet a lot more people would go to shows if they started at 8 and ended by 11. Also, there's really no reason to have an opening act. Nobody gives a fuck about the opener. And if they do, they should just go see the opener when they have a headlining gig.

Yes, Club Heaven still very much exists and still does an '80's Night every Thursday night (now spun by Neal).  This event has been going for 10 years, if you can believe it!  I still sometimes go but occasionally hit other club nights on Thursdays as well.
