Headed to Seattle on Sun for the Tues and Thurs pearl jam shows.

On Monday, we’re driving to Paradise around Mt Rainier to check out the sites and maybe do a short hike. Stopping at Copper Creek Inn for a blackberry milkshake on the way back to Seattle. Thanks to the surly collaborative braintrust for this recommendation.

On Wed, we’re taking the ferry to bainbridge island to check out breweries and poulsbo. Then taking in a Mariners game on Wed evening.

The surly braintrust gave plenty of restaurant recs. Looking forward to great seafood, sushi and asian food.

If I don’t blow my wad before my flight back to dallas, I’ll hit the sub pop shop at the Seattle airport.

Get a reservation for Canon. My favorite bar in the country. 

Edited by 4th&Five

Canon was recommended in one of the Seattle threads in the travel board.

Not sure we’ll have time for it. But, we’ll see.

Saw St Vincent at Bottle Rock last night. Fucking rocked it out. “Broken Man”, in particular, ruled. Just a bonafide rock star.

There's a drum fill in that song that bends my brain.  Somehow it twists out of something like 16th notes to triplet 16ths.  I rewound that damn thing about 15 times trying to count it out and just gave up.

Plus, the Nine Inch Nails vibes are strong.  Here's the fill I'm talking about:

Just saw Warpaint at Mohawk. Their drummer is really good. She overwhelmed the rest of the band a bit but I dunno how you contain a drummer on stage.

Which one of you was the 50-something hitting on the 19 year olds? They were really impressed with you tales of Sonic Youth at Liberty Lunch. Those kids are friends of my daughter so we had a good laugh when they told us about it.

Warpaint was good. Didn't know they were playing all of exquisite corpse, not my favorite album of theirs but still enjoyable. They're definitely all about the rhythm section and harmonies.

The gals just got picked up for a short East Coast summer tour with the great Sleater-Kinney!  I'm not sure which show(s) I'm going to, but I'm going for sure.  Unreal.

We're in for the Austin show.  Got a presale code for June 7th from the Moody.  Checked the NR website and signed up to get a code for June 4th.  

On the railing for Thievery Corporation at Emo's last night.  Was so good...

No lol just like their music. I’ve never seen limp bizkit and grew up in high school listening to them from like 10th grade. 311 been to a million shows just haven’t seen them in 20 years and figured why not. A lot of the earlier shows of 311’ had incubus as the opener so I was early fan of theirs too. 

went to big dumb fest on saturday at the mohawk, was pretty awesome that rickshaw billies was able to put together a festival that sold out the place. great energy from the crowd all night long. rickshaw is so damned good, it was loud as shit and extremely sweaty on the floor.

I heard from two different people who didn't know anything about the band that they were awesome.  One guy noted an 8-string drop D guitar?  Never head of such a thing.

yes he plays an 8 string guitar and it's great. they're so good at jamming the shit out of a riff for 90 seconds. their newest album is 11 songs 21 minutes. 

Wish I could have gone . . . we had tix via my daughter's band but my wife has pneumonia.  I wasn't gonna leave her at home.

Was thinking of going but while I appreciate loud and high energy, I wasn't sure if Rickshaw was going to be my thing.  Sounded like a cool show.

 

Vampire Weekend at Toyota Music Factory in Las Colinas on Friday and then we've got some time off from live shows. I'm sure we'll add some stuff here and there.

didn’t take any photos once it got dark, but the sky was filled with lightning toward denver for the whole second half of the show.

@patrickdrinksbeer Damn, had tickets and a whole trip planned for that show that fell through.  Hopefully this is becoming an annual thing and I can make it next year.

just bought a ticket to that show. Pow!

Saw Vallejo this evening in a free community concert.  They put on a good show.  I think I saw them last in 1997.

They’re worth it. Incredibly tight band with a fantastic groove

How is AXS somehow a worse buying experience than TM? I go on the app this morning to buy tix for a show at ACL.  I wanted first row of the mezz so I pick one and put my CC in and it says there's a problem processing it even though it didn't even try.  I pick a new seat and the same thing happens 2 more times.  It then says I've timed out.  I start over and pick a second row ticket and it finally completes the sale.  When I get my receipt I notice it's a first row seat but not one I had tried to by before.  So fucking dumb.

Anybody go to Vampire Weekend in Houston last night? Looks like 8:30 start time -- wanted to confirm that was right so we're inside Toyota in Las Colinas in time.

Planning on sweating my dick off at the VW show tonight. Would love if they ever visited Dallas in the spring/Fall/Winter

God, outdoor concerts in Texas between June-September are terrible ideas. 

Yup, will be sweating my ass off to watch my son's band play at Chiggerfest in Driftwood this afternoon.  At least it's BYOB, and we can bring a canopy.

those cocksuckers.

So, I bought Springsteen tickets without consulting the GF.  I tell her, and she responds "hey dipshit, we've already committed to be in with my family in FL that weekend".

Oh shit.  Turns out AXS has a resale option, right on the app.  So, I list the tickets and they sell right away, for a little more than I paid for them.  Great right? .  IIRC, this is in February or so, concert was scheduled for June or so (last year).

The tickets sell right away.   No money shows up in my account, so I call customer support.  They say "sorry motherfucker...you paid for the tickets, and the next guy paid for the same tickets, but we're gonna keep both y'alls money until the concert starts. Moose out front should have told ya".     Shitty policy.   Then Springsteen gets a vocal injury, and the concert is pushed to November.  So, those cocksuckers kept my money and the other guy's money for the better part of a year.

Who’s the moron that booked The Misfits at the Moody Center with $200 ticket prices? From the seat map it looks like they’ve sold 500 tickets so far. They should be at Mohawk or maybe Stubbs for $25.

IMG_3120.thumb.jpeg.c524931e53ad137ac306f513558fc98a.jpegCheck out the Rateliff seat map. Black Keys canceled their whole tour after poor sales. A lot of groups overestimating.

The boys had a good gig.  Was muggy,but there was decent shade.  Final set was Van Wilks.  I had never really listened long to Texas Blues before.  The sound he put out was ethereal.  Here's a shot of him putting on a master class for the boys.

certainly the Misfits is in another area code of stupidity but the "yay COVID is over, I'll pay anything to see live music" period was over about 4 or 5 months ago. I am sure the promoters hid the memo, though.  also just general issues with inflation are going to cause people to make decisions along with families having to take out 2nd mortgages to pay for Taylor Swift tickets

Fun show. You could sit me between Eddie and Jeff on stage at a PJ show and I wouldn’t be as excited as the guy next to me tonight. I was worried he was going to hurt himself.

When you’re in the Bainbridge area head over to Greenwood Memorial Gardens in Renton and stop by the Hendrix  memorial.

The sign in book alone is worth the trip. I spent 15 minutes just thumbing through reading the entries. You will find some serious star power in that book.

Noted for next visit. I’m back in dallas now.
