Gal Holiday is back in town after having left for California and they played at Rock N Bowl last night. We went and had a blast. I hadn’t been to the new Rock N Bowl location and it was a little taste of Americana meets New Orleans and it was a perfect showcase for the band. They were tighter than ever and I think I danced from the time we walked in the door till we left. The usual suspects were there – the tall thin man and red headed lady who have their own dance and performance, the two gals who line dance, and we were flanked by a number of thin blonde women who were out on a Saturday night (only it was Friday). A friend showed up with a friend from Brazil and I watched him watch this scene and thought to myself – he is possibly freaking out. As I was cutting a rug, a woman came onto the dance floor with a bunch of hula hoops and then I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Afterwards, we went to Buffa’s and a couple of our friends met us there. The joint was jumping and we had to sit at the bar, whereupon a woman befriended one of our friends and she was a trip – she wanted to talk football and she kept throwing out the most inappropriate racist jokes – needless to say they were all jokes about blacks and jews. My friend kept telling her “I don’t like that” as she would roll one out, and finally I turned and said, “Okay, really, I’m Jewish and I have a black child, so you are offending me on every level,” and she thought I was kidding! Good grief.
Our personal photographer – Marc Pagani – documented most of the evening all except for the last part:
