Roll Call: Rhett Miller
« on: July 31, 2003, 09:22:00 am »
Where are you possibly going to hear cover songs of artists from Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby to the Pixies and the Ramones, all in the same set? Well you'r egoing to have to be a the Black Cat Saturday Night. Showtime is 7 pm, there is an opener, and it all has to finish before 10 pm, since there is a separate show following that.
 
    I've seen Rhett solo four times on this tour, but this is the performance I'm most looking forward to. This time, he won't be limited by a hired backing band whose knowledge of his back (Old 97's) catalog is limited. Nor will he suffer from the time limitations and marginal crowd interest that being an opening act present.
 
    I'll be the big wuss with trendy glasses, short hair, goatee, medium height and build, with the pretty wife. I know that all makes me sound like Mankie, but I'm really a totally different person.

no, they were quite nice actually, and while standing there, I realized that the woman taking tickets was the drummer I saw while getting soaked by rain before D Plan on Monday night

 thats cool. The only reason I didnt go to Rilo Kiley is I hate the drag of getting tickets. Thats a job much better delegated to you.

Anybody know if the Food for Thought Cafe food is edible, and if it would open before the 7 PM showtime?

i heard it isn't that bad, but i've never tried it myself. it might open early because of the early showtime, too.
