The Scourge is Back

Last night's show at Chop Suey was solid. Sure, they threw an extra band on the bill (meaning that it was doors 8, show 8:30), but both Ra Ra Riot and The Little Ones delivered with tight sets. And yet, there was something troubling in the air. What was it?

Two words: Nag Champa.

We have discussed this before: venues burning incense at a show is a no-no. Look, our seasonal allergies have been acting up something fierce the past few days, and the last thing we want to be around in a closed environment is smoke of any kind. So no more incense. Just like we don't want to end up smelling like cigarettes after a night out, we also don't want to leave a bar smelling like a goddamn hippie.

And while you're at, please update the wall slideshow. It's May 12th, so we don't need advertisements for shows from May 1-11. If the slides aren't ready for the June shows, just add a couple more Ernest Hemingway alcohol quotes into the mix. There, problem(s) solved.
