Old Satryicon a far cry...

I was really excited to hear that they re-opened Satyricon. It was one of those places where a lot of the bands I like got their start sorta. It was a really great place back in the day, and then it closed down.

When I heard they were re-opening it and my friends Son of Rust were going to play there, I was stoked.

They weren't going on till 11 ish, so after work I headed down there and everyone was hanging out at Tiger Bar. For some reason, every time I took a picture I managed to catch everyone giving me a dirty look.. so it became the theme.

I submit.. dirty looks.. or attempts at dirty looks.




Jason's creative nature struck again, and he presented Justin with another present.
Eldon tried to steal Justin's drink...
Justin wasn't having it.

When it was time to go, Melissa had just ordered a drink. Naturally we made her chug it.

Unfortunately, the new ownership did nothing to make this place what it was, and the bands that played before Son of Rust were so absolutely terrible that anyone who wasn't there to see them specifically were driven away by the sheer awefulness.

They didn't have a liquor license, but they had old school video games!


Regardless that it was just their friends, Son of Rust put on a great show. They played all their new songs, which made me very happy. Especially when they did "To Be Free". It was so emotion-filled, Justin even sat down during one part of the song and it was just fantastic.





After the show, we all converged on Embers.



It was 80's music and lots of fun. Even got several people up in the cage!
Melissa's brother..
Eldon..
Geoff..
Myself..

Tried to get others, but they refused. I did however get Josh to come out on the dance floor. Josh doesn't dance. But we got him to!

The last song played before we left was the Numa Numa song!
Justin says, "Hey that last song was kinda cool."
Me:"You've never heard that song before?"
Justin: "No, why?"
Josh and I look at each other in amazement.
Josh: "You haven't seen the Numa Numa video? And you call yourself a computer nerd!"

So when we took Justin home, it was imperative that we introduce him to the video in question.
And then we stayed to play some pool. Well, Justin and Josh played pool.. I attempted, very badly, till 4 am.
