Mike Doughty show was fun. Lots of people. Skewed older. Good vibe. It was one of those shows where you can leave to get a beer and come back and nobody will have taken your little piece of real estate on the floor. Sweet.

The band was great. With an electric guitar, a synth organ thing, drums, and an upright bass - played by local boy John Munson - they were acoustic enough to be smooth and jazzy in the quiet parts and electric enough to be loud and proud in the rockin' parts. Mike also did a few songs by himself. In there somewhere was some song about busting down a Starbucks. Waa hoo.

Show lasted maybe 2 hours but it felt like 10 minutes. After it ended, Mike came out and talked with us common folk until we got tired of talking with him. I thought that was cool, but maybe it just means he's desperate for people to buy his new EP, who knows.

I talked to him for a minute and I got him to sign my ticket stub. Then I went and played a game of Tetris. The joystick was kind of sticky. Gross.

Then I left.
