friday night life

So I took Shannon out to eat at the Drake Diner. Mmm...Drake Diner. It was a nice meal. So we headed back to her apartment and I dropped her off. She had to work this morning, so she really couldn't go out to late.

I drove down to Java Joe's and met up with Courtney and her beau (James S) and eventually a whole crew showed up (Josh, Adam, Tiffany, Ryan, Drew, and even later Jen and Dusty). It was open mike night. The first people that were up there set up for like half an hour, which was annoying, espically since it was just two mics, an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. They then proceded to play one song, which was actually not to bad, you can tell that they had put a lot of work into it. Then...they tore down. It was quite silly...all that for one song.

Then James (not Courtie's beau, the military one soing going into service) took the stage with Drew and two other guys I didn't know. They played an oasis cover (ugh) and then two Dispatch covers. It was actually pretty good. The dispatch was played better then the oasis.

Afterwards two young wipper snappers came on stage and...well...were not very good. but I guess that's what open mic night is about.

The next act was setting up, and well...was being purposfully non melodic, playing an untuned guitar (even doing that poorly) and singing out of tune. The guy had half his head shaved. I like a lot of boundry pressing music, but this wasn't music, it was some guy on stage subjecting people to absolute crap. We left.

It was decided, after much debating and standing in a light drizzle, we headed off to go to a mexican resturant, but it was closed, so we ended up at perkins.

Afterwards, a few went home (me included) and a few other's went to a party.
