Mighty Blue Kings

We went to see The Mighty Blue Kings, at The Rave. I parked on the same side street that I always do - the theater is in a not so nice part of town

I had one of these "Free tickets" that cost you ten dollars to get in - two drink minimum. So I's cashing it in, and I realized I only had nine bucks on me. So I had to walk back to my car to scrounge coins from the ashtray. I apparently had done this recently, so there was only about a buck twenty there. So I was walking back to the show, and I passed a bus stop on the way. I thought a guy was going to ask me for change, but he said,
"Ssup."
"Hey."
"You need a nice VCR?"
"Nope."
"Aight."

Sure enough, there was a VCR, sittin' on the bench behind him.

So the show was okay. The Blue Kings are great, but the sound sucked. Not a good mix, and muddy. One of the guys who was with us is a pipe organ technician, so he really knows his sound. I asked him what effect the tall beams in the ceiling had. He said they break up the bass, so they have to compensate by turning it up, and that's why the vocals were undermixed.

When we left, there were two cars broken into on the street where I parked.
