Let there be rock

I notice I haven't been to a good concert in quite a while. So when one of my great colleagues asked me if I wanted to join them for a gig at a nice venue called "Slim's"  I was more than happy to come.

I hadn't heard of the two bands, but especially the opening act We are Augustines (similarity to my old band's new name purely coincidental) was worth listening to. The headliners Boxer Rebellion were a little to emo for my taste, but also had some gems in their set list.

My fun fact of the evening is the rather strict alcohol policy at the venue. Not only is everyone over legal drinking age marked with a decorative stamp, but whenever you want to buy a round of drinks, you have to bring everyone to the bar, as they want to see the corresponding number of stamps before they give out any alcohol. If I would have done that in the club I used to work as a barkeeper, people would have ambushed me on the way to my car after work.

All in all, a fun evening - also, the layout of the restrooms is worth a look.
