I went to see a friend's friend's weird band and opening for them was some super-douchey hardcore guys and a punk band made up of old Japanese guys. I stopped in the scary restroom on my way up to the show floor and ten minutes later, I went back down to take a phone call (because it's the quietest place in the building regardless of echo)...in that ten minutes someone had smashed the back of the toilet seat all over the floor so I had to stumble across the rubble.
The crowd was eclectic and bizarre. The NA ginger beer was spicy and delicious (best I ever had). I got hit on by what appeared to be a creepy Swedish kid on E. All-in-all it was awesomely reminiscent of my days of youth...and though I realized and am by far too old to go to places like that anymore...I did enjoy more sober, loud, weird time.
If you're confused, I do recommend it; if not for the highly weird, strange, sober (but not sobering) experience- then for something a little different from just bar-hopping or sitting at home watching anime and talking to your cat. read more
