The Hot Rails @ the Grog Shop in Cleveland, Ohio (May 31, 2009)

Last night, Lashea and I went to the Grog to see The White Rabbits. In addition to The Subjects (WHO WERE AWWWWWSUMMMMM) and The Mother Country Madmen (who I missed due to a broken shoe mishap), The Hot Rails opened. I had never heard of them and so I didn't know what to expect. Truth be told, I probably won't listen to them. I thought they were aight. The lead singer's stage antics were entertaining and I'd see them live again for that reason...if it was free. Oh, and aside from chatting it up with me, he also gave me a PBR tall boy during the set. Most people seemed to be there for The White Rabbits, but the crowd seemed to enjoy The Hot Rails.

And might I add, this camera is better than I thought, for a point and shoot. The pictures look shitty on the camera but look way better once uploaded to the computer. It's my dad's 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix.







"Something, something, something, you don't think I'm cool enough for your little hipster art project."

That isn't sweat. It's a self-inflicted beer stain.











Why didn't my dad take me to shows at this age?






One of The White Rabbits, which I didn't know at the time. Dunno why he's making that face. Maybe I can ask him when I see them again in Columbus on June 7. More about them and The Subjects after that show.
