Last night I went out to Dunes to see my friends Best Supporting Actress. The show was billed as starting at 9. Now granted, it was Friday night, and it's my own darn fault, I guess, that I work early saturday mornings. But even though tons of people were there, the first band, Tyrants, didn't even start until about 1045 pm. By then, I was falling asleep in my tequila and squirt (first drink, mind you!) and BSA were playing last. So I had to say "Um, sorry guys, but I'm super tired, I guess not tonight?" The thing is, too, that shows in many places (and especially at the Dunes) are like this even on the weekdays. Why is it cool to show up someplace at least an hour after it's supposed to start? and to start things late accordingly? What about those of us who need our sleep? Am I just getting elderly young?
