We went to Cincinnati for three days to check out (and play) the MidPoint Music Fest. It was lots of fun. We met cool people & danced & sang karaoke (for beer -"Sing, Rummy! Sing!").  I can recall a little bit...I think we saw some bands...I know we DIDN'T Bob Pollard's Boston Spaceships cuz our "Artist" wristbands were no good for that show & they wanted us to pay $18 !!!??? Next time you balk @ some $5 cover in T-town or BG, remember that, then eat $5 worth of (insert various names for genitalia here).
Anyway, the Cincinnati City Beat set it up right with 20 or so Scion cars giving people free rides to all of the venues around the Downtown & Over-the-Rhine spots. In other words, lots of people were getting their swerve on but keepin it safe on the streets. Including us! I can't remember how many clubs we hit in the 3 nights of our stay but it was a lot! And the bands were all cool. We missed some that we would've liked to have seen but free rides means more imbibement (not a word, shut up! i'm fuckin' loaded right now) which equals time slipping through the hour glass a lot faster than one realizes.
Our set was lots of fun! The stage manager said some chick flashed us or something but my shades were all steamed up & all I could see was colorful clouds of awesomeness while I wailed about hookers n blow & not wanting to be some hooker on blow's man. It all evened out. Our freebies were all gobbled up before set's end so I think some people liked our music...
some even blogged about it & took pix!
