dodgy bands, muffin tops and meaty subs

as other weekends go, this one was much better than the last few. i didn't spend all of it lying around in bed or on the couch downstairs. i only spent most of it lying around in bed or on the couch downstairs. saturday we had some absolutely glorious weather, the sun shone bright and it was warm outside (that means 5C). sank and i went out to a local dive-bar called Broadway Joe's.. where we knew the guy at the gate, so not only did we pay no cover, we also drank free mostly!

Broadway Joe's is pretty famous actually, showing up on Stuff magazine's list of 20 Best Dive Bars in the country.. the description is pretty grim, the place even grimmer. of the three bands that played.. one was really bad, one was ok, and one had potential. the positive rankings were awarded thanks to the number of beers we had downed, and also cos they saved the night by playing Pearl Jam's 'Last Kiss' thereby saving themselves from eternal damnation. but if you are an up and coming band, then it's a great place to come and get some live gigs in, and hopefully score with one of the endless muffin-topped bimbettes that Buffalo seems to produce by the droves.

one really great thing about Buffalo is that bars stay open till 4 a.m. so even the rest of Main Street is alive until then, including the food places. what better way to end a drunken night than cramming yourself with greasy meat laden with molten cheese on fresh bread?! Jim's Steakout is a Buffalo tradition.. and their steak hoagy is to die for, and also to die from!! hehe!!

woke up on sunday morning, feeling all trashed out.. looked out and saw it raining like it was going out of fashion, so put on the Pearl Jam and promptly went back to bed. good times.
