CT Bonding

Last night Jenn & Mel & I decided we were going to have one of our random, usually quite pointless, ventures downtown to do a little CT bonding. We ate at Nickels and are slowly becoming regulars there which is kind of sad on so many levels. Then we decided to head out to Club Lambi but not before I got a really great creepy prank phone call. Definitely memorable...although not nearly as bad as the homeless man throwing what I PRAY was beer at Mel & I last week.

We ended up heading to Club Lambi with Karen & Kathy and there was basically nobody there. It felt like a really awkward private concert. Aside from 5 or 6 other fans of the bands we were the only ones at the venue and we were sitting closest to the stage so that made matters even weirder. The opening band Hero wasn't all that great, not very good stage presence and kind of boring if I'm going to be completely honest. I was actually looking forward to seeing Afternoon Zero because I had heard good things about them and I only realized today that I knew this because I had seen them already. They didn't disappoint though. They were great and their sounds were super catchy and after we were pushed to stand by the stage by the lead singer we had even more fun. We headed home after their set because I'd never really heard of Hello Operator and I was way too wiped out from our incredibly tiring trip to Nickels haha. All in all it turned out to be a fun night and we discovered a new band in the process which allows for more shows in the future!
