Part 2?

In the “In every life a little rain must fall” category: So, all is right with the world right? The Spotted Cow is flowing, Cupcake is smiling, and the band is so ******* hot I’m freaking out. I’m at the bar in want of something cold and I hear from the door “5 Bucks!?, Whaddya mean? I’ve never even heard of these guys” I look over at the door and sure enough, two drunken douchebags, looks like they have come from a wedding, ******** about the cover. I poked Cupcake and said “check out these two ****nuts.” She didn’t have to, because, as I knew the minute they stepped in the door, and because Cupcake and I are freak magnets, we were treated to a double dose of doucheyness, they were in our face two minutes in the door. It lasted about a half hour, which is 45 minutes too long. It was starting to make big and Polish uncomfortable and that was only going to lead to violence. So, if I may, I would like to address my male readers.

Dear fellas,

If you are really drunk you are not sexy, witty, or charming. You’re not, really, not. When you say to yourself, “Man, I’m hammered” please add this phrase at end of that statement “****, I’m not sexy any more. I probably look a little stupid, maybe if I sit down and keep to myself nobody will notice.”

Your pal,
Roxy Reno

Now, don’t go calling me a prude. I have been on rubberleg street, I’ve woken up with my shirt on backwards and two mis matched boots on my feet, in fact it was not that long ago that I feared that I may have done permanent damage to my left nipple in a speed wobble incident that involved running away from imaginary police. I get it. But you know what? Got to find a way to contain that **** and stay the **** out of my face. If yer cute, I’ll tell you, promise.

Conversation the Saturday after the show on Thursday:

You know what Roxy?
No, what?
I still feel bad ass from that show
I smell what your stepping in Cupcake

Next time you are in church, give thanks to the man for making people like Time Bomb Tom who bring this crazy kind of **** our way.

Yours in Christ,
Roxy Reno

357 String Band 6/28/08

Ok, so I half assed know this guy Jake from Milwaukee,
He’s a dead ringer for the guy “I lost it to”.
Dreads, piercings, jail time, a welder, ya know.

Just so happens Jake plays in the 357 string band, who just happened to be playing at Cranky Pat’s in Neenah, I just happened to show up. Crazy how coincidences just line up like that sometime. Ladies, really, don’t recommend Jake unless you like your boys a little rough around the edges, if you know what I mean. If you don’t know what I mean, I mean this, get that man in the shower before you screw him, everyone concerned will be happier.

You know what, always liked 357. Nothing spectacular but always a god **** good time. The first time I saw them, they were busking outside of a Hank III show at the Rave in Milwaukee. Busking is simply performing on the street. Legend has it that the Violent Femmes were “discovered” this way busking outside of Major Goldsbey’s. I like that about a band; it’s like ****, we didn’t get on the bill, ya know what, we’ll play anyway.

I’ll tell you right now, I like Cranky’s room for this kind of show. Dark, low, a little warm, tight, but with room on either end. Sound is iffy, but if you don’t like how it sounds you can move and it will sound different. I like the room Dave has going on there, it’s a good fit for the kind of music they have.

The last time I saw 357 play I got offered acid, that didn’t happen tonight, it’s my only complaint. Band was tight, you can tell they have been after if for a while. If you have any hankering at all for bluegrass, you would like this band. If your punk, you can appreciate the band’s natural uncleanliness and some of the songs. If you are just looking for something different than a cover band or white boy blues, yup, here ya go.

I’ll sum up 357 like this, 2 went to college, 1 is the heart and soul of the band, and 1 is just happy to be there. How do I know this, I looked at their shoes.

Your 7th day Adventist pal,
Roxy Reno
