He was saying that he asked you to hold his drink but you refused, arguing that were you caught with it sans ID, you'd be removed from a Hold Steady show. Admirable foresight. More hypocritical, I ended up drinking in Charlies, an upscale karaoke bar with THS.

I'm surprised we didn't get ID'd.
Guess I fooled him like I fooled everyone.
And I don't know how to get pics off facebook onto the board.

when did the karaoke happen by the way? i wish i coulda been in your guys crew. i think i vaugely recall talking to some dude in one of yr shirts at the bar of big hands, in between some epic conversation i was having with another kid about my public enemy shirt and the wu tang clan, i'm sure i was being a complete moron so sorry to whoever that was.
i also remembering turning around only to find the koob, and having what i'm sure was a very very akward conversation for him, considering that he was probably sober. and then proceeding to try and take a photo of us, only to realise that i was taking a video. one thing that i remember in retrospect is that he seemed kind of uncomfortable hahaha.
i have been on such a high since the show. the one thing i love about seeing the hold steady is that it always makes me feel great about life, makes me want to do stuff and shit. i wish everynight was a hold steady night.

karaoke would have ended in further embarrasment for me, i think. i was at one point at the back of big hands, doing my best the Boss impression to dancing in the dark, crotch thrusting, fist pumping, the whole lot. luckily for me i was in a strange town, completely anonymous.

Right, I'm sitting here singing my heart out to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, and I'm thinking WHY WAS I NOT AT KARAOKE?? Darn me for being a good friend. Though I did get to eat toast and catch up with my girlie, which latter point in the grand scheme of things is most important. But next time I shall sing, and The Hold Steady shall ask me to join their band. Ok, maybe not. But it will be fun

Just from looking at the setlist, that could be the best encore ever.

oh wow, wednesday night really was just amazing. my memories stop around 1am, sadly, but everything that happened up to that point was just perfect. the band were great. the scene was out in force and on form, and as phil has mentioned, my tache uber ruled. the post-gig rage was an absolute belter and i have so much love for you guys. i'd start naming names but people would only get missed out, so i'll just say this:
i am freaking adorable, and so are you.

They are playing really tight, Craig's vocals are amazing, because I have heard some live shows where they are off key, or a bit gravelly, but in Sheffield they were really clear. And Koob is the greatest guitarist ever. And the sound mix guys are doing a super job.

I love seeing pictures of you all in action, especially lilhan in the video...so darling. Also toastie and CF and CF's extra head. It's like A Canticle for Leibowitz.
