well, that was groovy
Something like every 4th Sunday of the month is this goove down on U Street called Blowoff. Sittin' down on my chair against the wall, I'm a sessile being for the ebbs and flows of woofy DJ Richard and Bob Mould.
"Bob Mould...that sounds familiar..."
"Yeah, he was in Sugar and Husker Du."
"Oh, wasn't name that on the shirt the Indigo Girls wore on that album cover? Please pardon my ignorance."
And I'm from south of Minneapolis. No clue here. What's new?
If these keys would stop moving I'd continue...there. The sponge returns to his reef to suck in more sights and sounds. A little heavy house, a little loungey, a little bit o chillout. No jungle or pots and pans. Is this a gay crowd? I wasn't sure. And that's what was so nice about it. Kakhis and jeans, some sagging, some tight. Bears and twinks dancing happily together? No one was concerned with appearance, and a good time was being had by all. It wasn't real. They tell me it's the punk queer crowd from the 930 club, and it looks the part. I'm pleased and beaming from my place against the wall. And it's only three blocks from my house. Sad it's so seldom, but good things don't always come around so much.

The 9:30 Club is an awesome place to see bands. I have many fond memories of evenings there.

Baby, you gots to keep the rest of us informed about these things. I would totally love that sort of crowd. It's so anti-NoVa (apologies to Burl).

Is that rabbit-baby smoking a J? You'll have the Christian Right horrified!
