From Emmett & Scott, it was back over to the Ice House Tavern.

Pretty sweet timing on our part. And since we were only going to be seeing the last band, the venue only charged us half of the cover. How fucking cool is that? The Ice House Tavern gets my recommendation based on that alone. Mind you, unlike most venues it was a very reasonable cover to begin with!

Very cool set from the guys. I opted for not recording, which I prompted regretted when Jason announced that they (again) were going to play a full set of songs that nobody knew. [smile] (Yes, their new album is still under 6 months old, and they're already onto new songs). With that we said. we actually got a few off of Friends, most excitingly Middle Class Life. As well as s few less familar "ones you don't know" in addition to Getting Seriously and Holiday.

The cool thing with this venue is that it fronts onto the ice hockey rink. Yes, in the middle of the desert we have an ice rink. Strange, but true. In any case, I believe it's the first ice hockey rink I've ever seen. It seems like there is very little I'm not just accustomed to now, and feels like "the norm", so having a "whoah, I'm in America!" moment was really kinda hit me.

Cool bar, and definitely something new.

Katie had noticed this in the last few weeks, and since we were in the area, she drove me past it.



"It's a big M painted on a wall, big deal!" you might be thinking. Well, by all accounts, it looks like it's where the cover for The Maine's latest CD Black & White was shot. On comparing the photo with the album cover, I think I can confirm it to be true.

Pretty cool.

Amazingly, given the way tonight has gone, we managed to get down to see Emmett and Scott and Portlands. We stopped briefly at the Ice House, determined that Domo were probably going on last, and made a plan to go downtown and catch the Tramps boys.

Kinda cool place for something upscale, and props for not having the guys shoved in some corner, like most places.

Cool to finally get to see those two play (despite the fact I kept saying Mark & Emmett all fucking night until we got there [smile] ) after having said that we were going to for god knows how long (maybe even since Save The Boobs [suprised]). Emmett was all over getting requests from us, but I think player of the week needs to go to Scott for opting to do that amazing version of Galloping Hearts. I had my recorder with me, and I can't express how painful that I didn't have it running due to that! Wow.
