(rock 'n') roll call for Thur and Friday nights?

aahh, a satisying night of good music (Federal City Five, Aqueduct, Metropolitan), good friends, and a garlic-doused pizza slice to top it all off at the end… who can ask for anything more?

Well, I could. I could ask to have seen Pharmacy Prophets as well, but timing and a rain-soaked walk to velvet just did not allow it. Pharmacist, nice to meet you, sorry I missed the show.

time to go sleep off this buzz, gotta kill this habit of posting whilst under the influence….

Appreciate you stopping by. We had fun, lots of strange happenings at the show. Next time next time.

what sort of strange happenings?

I enjoyed that band that followed you guys.

Well….

The roof was leaking onto the drumset so our drummer was a tad concerned about being electrocuted the whole time we were playing.

some nitwit tried to steal my guitarist's Les Paul by just picking it up and walking out of the club. He was caught and we recovered the guitar.

A drunk woman grabbed my private parts and then said, "oh my god I'm so embarassed I thought you were my boyfriend." That was kooky.

I randomly ran into a guy that I had not seen since he sucker punched me in the face about ten years ago. We had some beers, all was well.

I saw Chaz, that's always kookily fascinating.

Entertaining evening overall.

all of that sounds like a typical night at the old Asylum on 9th St…

All I needed was Joyce yelling at people who couldn't make up their minds about drinks and it would have been spot on.

I loved Joyce.

yes!!!

whatever happened to her? (I'm afraid to ask.)

Hey Pharmacist and Confessions: Sorry I missed the (soggy) "music crawl" last Friday. I came down with a documented case of influenza B, and it took me down really fast . Man, I was really sick for a few days - but I'm coming back - almost ready for a little beer and some good ole rock. BTW: I don't blame Joyce for yelling about people who stand in line then have no idea what to order when their turn comes…hopefully, she's retired and only hanging out with people who are decisive and predictable… ;) Hope to catch the Pharmacy Prophets at their next gig!

Last I talked to her about 6 months ago Joyce was fine, out of the bar business for good but writing songs solo acoustic and thinking about venturing out for an open mic night somewhere in the wilds of Virginia where she lives.

Well that's cool about Joyce. I said I was afraid to ask because (if I remember correctly) she had a bout with cancer sometime in the early 90s, but I'm glad to know she's OK. And if I'm not remembering correctly, forget I said anything.

One thing beyond dispute: Murder Ink used to rock!!!

BadSushi: thanks to you, I almost went up and talked to several tall blonde women. But I held back, fearing that saying "are you BadSushi?" might not be received well.

Finally, since this is my thread:

Yeah, you erred on the side of caution, and probably saved yourself a severe beating…I'm going back to Suki, anyway. I am so lost now about who's who here. Of course, walking up to a guy and asking "Are you Confessons of an English Opium Eater" might be construed as rather strange too…but probably wouldn't get me a fist in the face.

That's an incredible photo - as usual. Did you use a tripod?

who knows, it might have gotten you on the inside track of DC's elusive post fin-de-siecle underground opium scene….

I did use a tripod!

Hey Doom, I'd be really interested in some photos of my neighborhood – Woodley Park and the bridges that lead to it…..

Bags, I was actually planning to get up there this evening, but things went awry…

I'm in the wilds of virginia…..where the Southside Locos and MS-13 stalk the night.

Idiots.

Anyway if we were doing an oldtimers reunion I would have to include Joyce, Strange Fred, Cat from the old 9:30, (who I have not seen in many years but I think still works for the club), and the survivng members of Thud, Lucy Brown and Party Akimbo.

Speaking of Party Akimbo their singer Rob has a new band called Crashlander that completely and awesomely kicks ass. I think they have a DC9 show coming up.

Nice pix….

Suki I'm glad to hear that you're on the mend.
That would rock.

heh… for some reason I was just thinking about Party Akimbo. They had one song in particular that really rocked, some sort of song about not judging people. Can't remember the name.
