Rite Spot Cafe is the right spot for a Monday night 2004

For some reason recently I decided after not looking at it for a year or more that I wanted to check the website for a local band, The Loud Family. There I discovered that my friend from the band, Scott Miller, would be doing a solo acoustic set the following Monday night at a little club I'd never heard of, the Rite Spot Cafe at 17th and Folsom. The resulting evening was a resounding endorsement of overcoming entropy and trying new things. The opening artist, Alison Faith Levy, was really good. I sat at the bar, ate the best bruschetta I've had in years, and the very pleasant woman bartending made me a near perfect Martini. Scott was wonderful and in addition to his own stuff played some great covers (Cat Stevens' "Shine", Bowie's "Life on Mars", Morrissey's "Last of the International Playboys", and something by Robyn Hitchcock).

Since it was a work night I didn't stay for the third act, but I sure was glad I got out for some impromptu fun.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
