tick tock -- the march of time

tick tock -- the march of time

tick tock

Coming back from the Drop Kick Murphys show at the Warfield in SF last night, my son says to me; "Dad, you probably shouldn't go into mosh pits that are that intense anymore. Your balance isn't that good and you're old and I worry about you." The fact I had been knocked down twice, had my glasses knocked off, and had a little cut on the bridge of my nose which sent a rivulet of blood running down my nose, made me think that he might have a point.

...sigh...

The show was great and lots of fun. I do think that the mosh pit thing at shows like this is kind of stupid. It doesn't have anything to do with the music for most of the guys. They are just out to throw themselves into other people and kick ass. Hardly anyone was dancing on the floor and this was music that lends itself to dancing.

I am inclined to stick to the smaller venues. Next on the agenda is Big D/Whole Wheat Bread at The Bottom of The Hill in a couple of weeks.

Before going to the Warfield last night, we stopped by Thee Parkside to catch the happy hour set by The Tomorrow Men. Danny, Tony, and company were sounding good. See them if you get a chance.

now you know
