The Crocodile
with Skeletons with Flesh on Them, Kids and Animals, The Royal Bear |  | Our first time at the Crocodile since their reopening.
The entire place is greatly improved in my opinion.
The back stage area was cool.
I'm hanging out backstage on one of the luxiorious day beds, casually talking to the one of the Skeleton dudes.
We were both lamenting the fact that we were not allowed to drink because Kids & Animals were not of drinking age and consequently none of us were allowed to drink in the back stage area.
I understand why the Croc and other bars have to do this...because the government forces them to.
What I can't understand is what the government is thinking here.
Maybe something like "If we don't allow drinking around young people then these young people won't have any idea what goes on in bars."
I remember being a young kid in a band back in Missouri. I've played on and off in bars since I was 16 or so.
I didn't have any trouble obeying the rules and not drinking in the bar while those who could drink did.
The older people had their fun, I had mine....no problems.
(("Meanwhile back in the tour journal entry I was in the middle of typing"))
....a movement caught the corner of my eye.
I looked over his shoulder into the hallway.
There was a rat sitting on his 2 hind legs looking at me.
Then he was gone......

KEXP | This was something like our 4th time live on the air at KEXP.
Everytime we do it I think about how many people might actually be listening thanks to their streaming internet thing they have going on.
We played a couple tunes and chatted with Cheryl and then played a couple tunes and then chatted and left.
Talking to someone when you're both wearing headphones is kind of like talking to each other through long cardboard tubes.
There is quite a bit of mis-communication.
Alot of "what" and "huh?".
The show went well and an hour later we were back at our day jobs.......wishing we weren't.
