The venue was really far away and it had been a long day so we took a pedicab back to our friends. It was a little scary...

Given my choices of crappy beer at the show after dinner I went with a Miller Lite. The bartender told me this was a good choice because I got the most bang for my buck. Umm. Ok.

The next venue I went to was an awesome punk rock bar and had an outdoor upstairs overlooking the stage with trees and all
