Show Journal 2005-09-29
On paper this show should have sucked even more than the one last night. Smaller venue, worse sound, marginally friendly staff and amazingly even less people. Excluding bands and employees there were 5 people that stuck around for both bands. It should have ranked as the worst show ever, but it was actually kind of fun. Why? Because Fabulous Disaster is totally one of the nicest bands in the world. Despite having been on huge tours, releasing albums on Fat Wreck and pretty much having seen and done it all they still got up and totally rocked as if they were playing in front of 1000 people. It was almost inspiring to watch. Letting it all go on stage with less than 10 people in the room is difficult to do and the bands that can do it deserve their props. How was our set? Who cares. Most of the fun this evening was watching Fab D, hanging out, talking like Borat, and making use of the $60 food/drink tab. All in all a pretty good evening.
