Diamond Yard Dogs

[lilmissnever]

I want to like the Yard Dogs Road Show. They have style to spare, all sepia-toned and ragtime-chic. They have burlesque dancers so pretty that they make me feel a little bad about myself when I look in the mirror. They have a sword swallower and a confetti cannon. They have some sort of gothic bellydancer of the tribal-plus-pop-and-lock school.

I find it vaguely distressing that you drink beer.

I required alcohol in order to counter-act my profound loathing for the venue and its occupants. Beer was the cheapest option. Under ordinary circumstances, I prefer to drink fruity cocktails and wine.

Understood. As one of my friends once said: there is no misery large enough that it requires beer. The Fillmore is absolutely an exception to this rule. (But can't you just get high off of the secondhand pot smoke?)

I'm still bummed I missed it -- you could have sat on my shoulders. Or done a handstand on them!

Your friend is mad.

Beer is delicious.

I could have stood on your shoulders - I've done that. Doing a handstand on your shoulders might be a little more complicated. We would bump heads. Also, I would be seeing the entire show upside down.

The secondhand pot smoke was vile.
