Speaking of(sorta): Gig Friday night at local American Legion. Crowd loves us. We play the songs they know and wanna hear-60s/70s rock, some crossover country, whatever. Coupla requests(which we happen to know). We never work off a set list. We 'feel' the crowd and play what's appropriate. They want us back. Unfortunately, the place is booked for awhile. We're back there 12/17-by which time we'll be forgotten. We should be on a 3 week rotation.

Good evening all! GP, you should be on an every-week rotation. That way, if you're a long-term band you'll make more clam$ and have to tear down less. Notice how I didn't say shrimp?

I like fried clams. One of the few seafood-y things I'll eat, along with fish&chips.
 
We’ve been enjoying “DoorDash” the last couple days staying in Seattle…Thai Panang curry. Craft burgers tonight with IPA batter onion rings…:drool: All left at our door at the Hampton Inn Downtown Seattle. Steps from the Space Needle!

Can’t do this on the Rez!:woot:


If the rotating restaurant in the Space Needle is open I highly recommend it for both the food and the scenery! :thumbsup:

A colleague tells of a moment of abject fear as a 7k dinner bill is presented at this restaurant. Someone will need to expense report this dinner :eek: and she sincerely doesn't want to be the one explaining herself to the finance department. The client volunteers to pay :) :) :) and all is well
for now

I was lucky enough to have lunch there on family “odyssey” trip there as a (very) young man in 1970. I remember the views of the busy working harbor, and finding my sugar packet carefully placed on the (stationary) windowsill 47 minutes or so later:hyper:

It’s a trendy, $$$$, wine bar/bistro now. So, no didn’t have a bite there! :(

Well, I'm glad Mrs. Dog and I took her hilarious mom (in sunglasses) and her crazy friend a few years ago. Yeah, it was a bit $$$ then, too, but it's a priceless memory now. Those Golden Girls were funnier than Laverne & Shirley ever were! I never saw such commotion over ice cream with dry ice in it!! :roflmao:

When my wife's class in a 2 year radiologic technologist program graduated, they went out to a fancy restaurant in Atlanta. Everyone was told they were responsible for their own drinks but the meal would paid for from what remained in the class's social account. But quite a few people, after several drinks, simply left. The class treasurer - one of our best friends - was presented the bill, which was substantially more than was in the account. She was nearly in tears. A vendor rep in attendance insisted on paying the difference, saving the day.

Having been a vendor in my working life, it is "amazing" how many free-loaders there are out there. It makes one really appreciate the nice, honest ones and keeps the sponsorships going.
