Popscene

The last time I attempted to go to Popscene (SF version of Cinespace) was in 2003. I was supposed to see the Zutons and then pass shit out after the concert, all courtesy of Filter. Lo and behold they didn't have my name on the list and even though I was holding Zuton promo items IN MY HANDS they didn't let me in!

So when I found out that Albert Hammond Jr was playing at Popscene last Thursday I was a little hesitant about going. I figured I'd give it a shot, if they didn't let me in I'd buy myself ice cream to cheer myself up.

The line was undoubtedly long but it moved rather quickly and sooner rather than later I was in! Reasons Popscene is better than Cinespace:

1. People dance during the concerts
2. Drinks are cheaper
3. Patrons are charming and polite
4. No aloof bouncer picking and choosing who gets in first
5. Disco ball

AHJ was very cute and fun. He kept pressing his lips against the microphone like he was frenchy kissing it. that was a little distracting.
