Old boy's night out

Tony was back in town, so Bryce, LK, Andy, and I hooked up for a needed boy's night. The first stop was JZ where Bryce got us a table to check out the Berlin deep house group Jazzanova. We were expecting a cool live music, electronica set, but it turned out to be a singer and a DJ. Kind of a live karaoke set. We stuck around for a few songs, until I turned to LK and Tony and said "This might be fun if I were 20 years younger and gay." They all got a kick out of that. Tony shot back with, "Hell, if it makes you feel better, if I were 20 years younger and gay, I'd do you." We all piled into LK's SUV turned on some good tunes and headed out to our next stop.
Moganshan is a cool place to see music. This place was a great indie venue, with Chinese drums and scrolls and vaulted ceilings. It opened up to a cool industrial vista of murky water and construction cranes reflecting in the ripples. A completely different vibe here, and we melted right in. We missed the first band, but The Retros were just starting and played a great set of dynamic trio rock and roll. This was the last song of their set and I think the most interesting of the evening. The crowd was young and into it and the drinks were cheap and the music loud. A good formula for an old boy's night out.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
