Another fascinating night of music and debauchery with Bear Lake Last Saturday started off rather inauspiciously. We arrived suprisingly on time and loaded in without a hitch while gazing in wonder at the Ghost town that is downtown Mt. Pleasant right before finals week. We waited to play to an empty house until we saw two "top shelf" individuals approach and asked if they would like to come in with lines like "We're good, we really are" and "You may have heard of a little show called One Tree Hill" It worked thus saving the night. These two were for us that night what a skillful pimp is for their ho's. That is to say they gave us a chance, watched a couple of songs and immedaitely called up some friends turning the night into a moderate success. Mick did a nice job of manning the sound booth and the barstaff at Rubbles couldn't have been more accomadating. It wasn't the busiest night at Rubbles, but it's safe to say that those that attended enjoyed the music and will probably make for a hardier turn out next time around in MP.
Brian stayed sober that night and bellied up to the driver seat for the ride home which was greatly appreciated by the rest of us drunk dickbags. It was however this drunken dickbaggedness that lead to the bright idea of stopping by the Soaring Eagle to bet our meager earnings for the night on Roullette. We walked into the casino and headed for the roullette tables. Jon placed the bet while heeding the immortal words of Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57..."always bet on black" We did thus doubling our purse. Steve proclaimed this as an act of God and a sign that Bear Lake is headed in the right direction.
Soon thereafter, Steve tried to exchange coats with a fellow holding a cheesecake. The man declined saying he didn't want to look like Kanye, which made Steve believe he looked like Kanye, which in turn made Steve smile. After determining that the cheescake box would be "a hard open" we let the man be on his way and headed home for the two hour drive.
Next stop Grand Rapids on Wednesday. We're all hoping for another "Top Shelf" evening.
