I could talk about what a great night the Ellington's gig was. I could talk about a great Magma Chicken Wrap at Kauai in Tygervalley. I could talk about Simon offending a local in the mall when he pointed out that it felt dead, like it was built on a graveyard. I could talk about the lady at the door of our gig venue refusing to believe I was in the band and wanting to charge me an entrance fee (apparently the suit didn't give it away). I could talk about Streep winning over what was a really metal crowd to our acoustic comedy approach. I could talk about a girl asking Simon if he would be "doing the actions" to our cover of 'Dammit Janet', to which he responded by asking if she was "doing the drugs". I could talk about how our fellow band Captain and the Caveman totally rocked their very first gig. I could talk about the Grand Slots gambling room right next to our stage in the club. I could talk about the mysterious blue coconut concoction in tot glasses that was kindly offered to us mid-set which we had no choice but to drink. I could talk about a VERY drunk girl who grabbed me on my way out and offered to do unspeakable things to our entire band. I could talk about a full-on fight that broke out at the entrance of the club next door, just as we were leaving.
But I'm not talking about any of that, because the club next door was called Danskraal.
DANSKRAAL
And that is way more awesome than anything else that happened on Saturday night.

28 July 2009That was a great gig, but I think this blog was greater, i.e. blog > ellingtons >>> danskraal... ... > kurt darren..

28 July 2009Thank you Mr Kerr. I loved how we all strolled over to the place to have a look, then got freaked out and ran away when they invited us in. Or was that just me? I have a photo of my cousin-in-law dancing with Kurt Darren on a cruise ship.

28 July 2009Naturally I'll sit out on the most epic Streep gig... :( Tim, you totally should've told that girl that you guys finish at 11 and given her directions to Simon's house...

31 July 2009Are you insinuating that something DID happen? Hang on... This wasn't mentioned in the podcast! I leave you guys for ONE night... I think I was sleeping by 11. No substitute for a Streep gig, but an enjoyable activity nonetheless :)
