I didn't realize Bush and Everclear were Fairfax enthusiasts.

Semi-interestingly enough, I've seen Alex Alekanakelanolonas (or whatever his name is) at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on 9th St. twice in the past couple years. Saw him at Eastern Market a few years ago too. He might be here a lot?

TAN: I think the name is Art Alexakis but I don't know how I know that.

I've never been to a Ruth Chris, but when we moved into our house, our realtor gave us a $50 gift certificate to Morton's Steakhouse. We went there and spent the entire gift certificate on vegetable sides (which weren't very good, but it was still free food). I'm sure our server was pleased as punch.
We did not see the dude from Everclear there.

that's a saturday. rawk on.
Anyone have any idea how fast this will sell out?
sell out? It will not sell out.. the lawn at Nissan is so huge.. very very few shows sell out… but if you want a good ticket that will be harder…
Thanks for the heads up. Decided to forego the fan club presale membership and do the livenation presale this morning (SUPERSTAR - code). Got nice seats in the 200s. Saved at least $55 in the process too.

Art Alexakis is only worth $1m, according to Celebrity Net Worth, which is unusually low, even for a one-hit wonder. Turns out he had to sell the publishing rights to his songs after a very messy divorce, which then pushed him into bankruptcy. So I don't know how he's eating at a posh steakhouse if he's so broke. Next time I see him there, I'll sidle up and whisper "I wonder what your ex-wife's lawyer would think about you eating in a place like this, hmmmm?"
Meanwhile, the bass player from Pearl Jam is worth $70M. Lol at you Art Alexakis

That's how I would characterize them.
they had a great Christmas song, though….
I myself have a mortons gift card, that I have had for over two years I think. it is still good; I checked. I knew such said experiences would be the fate of said card due to it only being fifty dollars, which is sad, because I feel the allure of mortons is not as impressive as it was. Perhaps a nice portion of the bill maybe, if you went alone right at 5, 5:30 and drank a soda and water only and got a small salad and a good steak, nothing fucking stupid, and a side, no dessert because ughh, I hate dessert but the servers love it when you order them and sit there for a good 20 minutes because you can't move.

What kind of peasant provided you a $50 morton's gift card?

Well, to be fair, virtually every one-hit wonder has other, lesser hits. But this label is set upon those bands who, when you mention them, are commonly associated with one song. Marcy Playground? Sex and Candy. Semisonic? Closing Time. Third Eye Blind? Semi-Charmed Life. They had other songs for sure, but that's the 3EB "hit".
Everclear is a little unusual because while they didn't have any big hits, they had a few minor ones. I think 'Santa Monica' is their one hit, but 'Father of Mine' still gets played on classic rock radio.

The implication here is that your net worth is well over $1m since you can comfortably afford to eat regularly at a posh steakhouse.
I've posted before that Ruth's is/was the 'splurge' datenight place for my wife and I. Plus I was attempting to make comedy jokes on the internet by pressing buttons on my keyboard.
I think some might consider Everclear a "one hit wonder" because of the tune (that I have no idea what the name of is) that probably now rivals "Smoke on the Water" as the first song people learn on guitar…..
