Later Saturday

1:45 pm -The Flat
I am now dressed and teeth are brushed. I am going to attempt flyering. So, last night was the most amazing night ever ! Rain was going to do a set at Spank -the club in the Under Belly venue called "Belly Dancer"-also a cave. The hosts are James and Leon.. We were there early and a little crew girl was giving me a hassle about letting us in and James just crooked his finger and bid us in. It's useful to know people. So,we got in early and were, thus, able to secure 2 tables for our little "Parker Entertainment" group. As soon as the doors were open, people ran in to get good seats-like it ws Woodstock or July 4rth on the Esplanade ! All trying to get a good spot.
At some point, Brendan Burns plopped himself down at our table. He was 3 sheets to the wind ! So, at our table it's Rain, Brendan, Andy and me. The crowd was really excited -they've got smoke machines and flashing lights and music is blasting. The back wall has "Spank" written in pink glitter, on the stage. The air was electric with excitement and expectation -for what ? -no one was quite sure . . . .
So , the hosts are cute and charming, they do this sort of cheer that every time some one says "Spank" the audience yells "We Love It !". I can't remember the name of the first act - a guy doing standup about is wife dying of cancer -actually very funny. The 2 Nevilles -they did a cockney act , which I didn't get and then they did it backwards and that was pretty funny. Then the Cancer guy and the two Nevilles did an act otgether that involved glasses and music. They were like glass musicians-except they weren't really . .. glass musicians. You know the guys that fill the glasses with water and run their fingers around the rim . . . Oh come on ! You know what I'm talking about ! . . .. .
