The Lady Hotspur teaches high school, as many of you know. She has a rather gifted student who is in a band. He invited TLH to attend his concert at the "big band night" for minors at FAST EDDIE'S POOL HALL in Woodbridge last Saturday. I danced in attendance, thinking that I could at least have a few beers.
Things have changed, and not changed, since when I was this age. The girls dress the same as when I was a kid (I guess it's back in fashion) and everyone hangs out trying to impress each other just like when I was a lad. However, everyone is now hanging on a cell phone, or a lap top, or a picture phone, or a PDA now. Rather disconcerting.
Here's some piccies:
In general, the first band sucked (tried to much to be Ministry), the second act was ho-hum (acoustic duo) and the third band was Lady H's student's band. Not bad at all... a lot like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a lot of screaming and shrieking
And yes, the beer was good.
