MuleMomma Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Well I wasn't at last night's show, but I caught the show 5 years ago. I hadn't realized that it was 5 year's ago to the day, but it brings back some great memories, specifically that being the night following the Big Sugar/Gov't Mule double bill at the Warehouse/Kool Haus in Toronto. That was one helluva weekend of unbelievable music. BTW, at the State Theater 5 years ago, my friend got thrown out by the overly aggressive security during Estimated for trying to get back to our established dancing area. How was security there last night? Have they lightened up at all? Besides the security issues, it seemed like a great spot to catch a show.

stu dog Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 ..... as i can remember the security was pretty darn good, there was a tone of smoke happening, pipes flow'in, no trouble in that area . the crowd wasn't the most plesent, a few aggressive dancers, its all those really old folk, i swear there were two old geezers who wouldn't let anyone with in 10 feet of them.. i recall trying to take some pictures and this geezer was just pushing my arm, i couldn't understand, he was mumbling something about bobby, but i just looked at him all spacey and laughed, he was pretty ugly ... reminded me of those ottawa senator fans . but all was good, a nice place to see a show, easy access to get booze, beer wasn't the greatest but drinkable .

phunkyb Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hey Karen, That was the first time I met you, State Theatre in 98! Remember that, we all went to the pizza place down the street after the show. That was the first time I met Karl also, I cannot believe it has been that long! Went with my friend Sue and this guy Beer Bottle...who was that guy:) Those are some really good memories! Who got kicked out of the show, Joe??

MuleMomma Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Hey Amy, How could I forget? Great times. I remember that Lisa knew you and had some nickname for you (besides phunkyb) Seems I thought you and Karl already knew each other though...don't know why. And it was indeed Joe that had been physically removed from the show. After visiting the restroom, he tried to come back to our second tier vantage point, where we all had beers and coats, etc. and security told him it was too crowded for him to go down there. After several pleas, he decided to just ignore them and walk down anyway. They threw him to the ground and dragged him out. It sucked bigtime - guess it's just lucky that it was near the end of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
