A Milestone !

I just have to say this: I've been going to the 9:30 club since college (1980 something). I loved the old place and I love the new place.

Tonight I usher in a new era. I'm taking my daughter to her first 9:30 show. And I can't wait to show her around. Some parents get excited about taking their kids back to their college or high school or taking them to work--but this is what I'm excited about.

I've already given her the run down of what to expect and how to behave and hopefully I have raised a new generation of respectful 9:30 club concert goer.

Just had to put that out there.

that almost brought a tear to my eye, hope you both have a great time.  what a great thing to share with your kid.  make sure she's packing earplugs in case the place gets too loud for her.

remember that one of a child's main purposes in life is to remind their parents how uncool they are, therefore be ready for her to be unimpressed with the club.  ideally she'll love the show and think it's great, but parents need to be ready for heartbreak!

make sure she leaves her weed in the car

I feel your pain.

Looking forward to that myself someday. Already teaching my boy how to roll posters and sneer. Make sure she wears ear plugs.

Congrats to you.

I think about the day I'll end up taking my kid (4 years old now) to his first show.

Certainly mixed emotions.  A little nostalgic that my boy is growing up, a little happy that he (hopefully) likes to do some of the stuff his old man does, but mostly sad that I'm sure I will have to suffer through a really shitty band.

bah, nothing that you'll do with your kid will be high quality at first.  you need to work your way up the ladder.  take him skiing, and you'll spend years on the bunny slopes.  take him to the amusement park, and you'll start off with the kiddie rides.  etc.  why should concert-going be any different???

You, son, are a pea brained dip-shit.  I pity you if you can't appreciate a parent's happiness over sharing new experiences with their kids. 

If you ever have kids, well I pity them too.
