Poetry Open Mic at the Tip Top Inn

Waiting in the Wings

Rocking the Stage

Nice underwear

Getting tipsy at the Tip Top Inn, as we gulp our Guinesses and listen to the amazing poetry being recited by a wide variety of fellow freak performers, including the infamous naked poet. Who knew this was a POETRY open mic night? OOps. Fortuantely, Kenny just moved us to the end of the list and said we could play at the end for as long as we wanted to. Sweet. More time for drinking!

The gig was amazing. ELTD rocked out a full set with no sign of tiring whatsoever. By the time the practicing panic and bassist extraordinaire hit the stage, they were so warmed up (by the Guiness) and so ready to go, it barely mattered what was played. The crowd was mezmorized. Clearly, this band was the hit of the poetry open mic night.

To say that the gig was success would be an understatement. Even without a drummer - nor Charlie the wonder metranome - to keep the beat, ELTD held the songs together like a glob of peanut butter to the roof of your mouth. I'm hungry. Anyone have a tuna sandwhich they can spare? Thank goodness for all night diners in the castro where one can pick up a good post-gig meal.
