Exile in Guyville review<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife had forgotten about the show, so I went solo. Took a taxi up there; does that count towards Small Business Saturday? How about the one drink I bought at the show?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say the place was only about 70% full, which I guess makes sense; not many of us GenXers out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening act was good. I’ll probably look up on Apple Music a few times in the next few weeks when I have some time. I will say that it was tough to hear the lead singer’s voice, however, due to the audio mix. A bit of the same strange levels with Liz, but she was a little easier to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AS it’d been pitched, Liz played Exile In Guyville<\/em> from stare-to-finish. For the encore, she generally played a hit off of her other albums Was very happy to hear Supernova,<\/em> and Polyester Bride<\/em>. (Two tracks that have gotten significant play on my various devices throughout the years….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the first time for me going down to “The Wharf.” I get what they were going for, but there was a lot that screamed some of the pre-planned parts in Tidewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting in was a bit of an issue. Glad I didn’t have a bag. Didn’t check my coat. Might have needed to do that if it was more crowded, but I had enough space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entry was a bit odd, but I finally got behind some other folks who were attending. Once I was inside, it was pretty easy. Didn’t take my normal laptop, but had pockets loaded with some of the things I’d most often need to fetch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy that there was no vaxport stupidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole experience was closer to kind of what I’d been expecting moving up here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a nice change from the absolute hell I’d been dealing with for too many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. What’s up for the rest of the month?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few more days writing. Shot Wednesday that’s, for some reason, giving me a bit of irrational trepidation, then…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I would like to go see a comedy show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
