Pete's Log: Friday Night Shenanigans
Entry #2483, (Life in General)(posted when I was 45 years old.)
Andrew sent out a text this evening to see if anyone wanted to join him see his coworker’s band play and I decided to do so. So we drive to the bar and pay the cover and a pretty decent Grateful Dead cover band is playing. Andrew texts his coworker to try to meet up before they go on. While we wait we grab a beer, play a round of pool, and enjoy the music.
Then we learn this venue has multiple spaces and the coworker’s band is playing the other space. So we wander over there and the people at the door act like we aren’t supposed to be there, but finally tell us it’s a fundraiser and it’s $80 a person to get in. Andrew doesn’t feel that level of support for his coworker so we decide to go play another round of pool and then call it a night.
Andrew’s coworker instead insists he can sneak us in the back. So we do that. Once in the space we immediately feel underdressed and out of place. A different band is playing and then transitions into raffles and auctions. The coworker’s band was supposed to go on at 10 and we figured we should see at least their first song. But as we were approaching 11 with no sign of the raffles ending, we gave up and headed out. Probably should have played that second game of pool instead. But we were entertained.
