Side Rubies/Sand Winders
Saturday, I ended up missing Loveland (not to be confused with Sugarland), but I caught the Sand Rubies. For some reason, the audience was all stuck behind this invisible barrier about twelve feet from the stage. Nobody, nobody, wanted to get up close to the band. This may be more due to the age of the fans now. Those of us who used to get up close to the stage and "RAWK," just don't do that anymore (see, look at how I slipped in the song reference there...) because our younger days doing that have given us tinnitus (what?). After the third or fourth song, people seemed to realize that they could, in fact, walk up to the stage without getting electocuted.
Things were a bit sloppy, but so what? Once again, I knew the lyrics better than Dave Slutes did, which may be more of an indication of my pathetic life than anything about him.
I ended up with a bunch of pictures of Anna Rosales, who, I only found out this week spells her name with two "n"s...MySpace, that's how. No, this isn't some sort of stalker weirdness. The fact was, I spent most of the show in a spot about seven or eight feet from her part of the stage. This also means that I got fewer decent shots of Rich Hopkins and none of Bruce Halper.
Anna played in her bare feet. It was hot out and who wants to play in heels anyway?
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

Damn, Hopkins looks like he has third-degree burns! Must be all that time in Paraguay.

I tried to take pictures of Louise Post's shoes when she played here...it didn't work. She was wearing really goofy looking tennis shoes.
So, why did the Sidewinders play at Plush and not Club Congress? Could it be because the guy who books shows at Congress is a jackass?

The guy who books shows at Congress really hates the guy that leads the Sidewinders. I don't know where that started.
Dave Slutes is doing the bookings for Congress...and he's lead singer of the Sand Rubies...it's one of those "in jokes" for us scenesters.
