Yeah I remember you lived here for a while. The Muses was in Regent Arcade next to Harris Scarfe. It moved a couple of times and finally shut just before Christmas. Downloads and stores like JBs killed it. Andromeda was/is very cool. The kind of place where the dudes behind the counter look like either guys from Wayne's World or just total metal heads! Lots of rare recordings, bootlegs, posters all over the joint...Comment

Christ...this is turning into a Chuck Norris thread...lmfao...
Va will get a kick out of this...
at a Van Hagar show, you get piss drunk and face the opposite way the entire time he's onstage after having moved 50 rows back, and find yourself talking to Santa Claus at a picnic table by the beer stand...
at a Van Halen show, you get piss drunk, blow out your voice, end the night with a blazing headache from screaming for 2 1/2 hours, get laid...then spend the night trying to find the assholes that put the cardboard under your windshield wipers that said Hagar was better (they, by the way, were likely tucked into their beds by 9:00 with their fucking binkys in the their mouths...fucking assholes)...
Okay...so it was Van Hagar or Van Halen...but same fucking difference..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Picture this, folks...
Rewind the tape back to 2002....
Bette takes the stage, as the opening act that he only deserves to be compared to Dave...
[ Pojo and VA are already more than half in the bag, by the way.... ]
Pojo gives Bette the double bird....
Later, Pojo turns around and refuses to face him....
Later, Pojo walks to the band of the ampitheater's seating area, refusing to get near Bette....
Later, Pojo can't take enough of Bette and is forced to go out to the concession area until Bette leaves the stage....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

So I fucking walk to concessions....and I wasn't half in the bag...I was hammered. Didn't we put away a case in the parking lot?...or close to it...plus two or three of those monster bastards at the show...
so anyways...I stumble off at the Walnut Creek amp (at the time...that's what it was called) through the pine trees to the fucking concessions area...and there was a picnic table...and I shit you not, fucking Santa Clause was sitting there...I end up talking VH with Santa Clause for about 20 minutes (he prefers roth, by the way)...
before returning...and finding Sobolewski onstage...which prompted dry heaves...
Wasn't it at this point that hotdog & a shake started dancing with his girlfriend, only to get popped in the back of the head by the both of us?"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

Maybe I dropped some acid...but I'm telling you...I talked to fucking Santa Clause...he had on a white wife-beater, suspenders, and had a cane...
