I hesitated to visit Weber’s Place again due to past issues but found it fun with a full bar and noticeable changes, like the absence of large mirrors. The bouncers remained familiar, and the bartenders provided great service. Although drinks were pricey, the overall experience was enjoyable, especially with performances from bands like Stop Breathing, which energized the smaller crowd.
Bad Samaritans are funny and a bit more experienced with the punk rock scene that has continued for the last 30 years. Battalion Of Saints are out of control great and an ace with their mature punk style. Dr Know climbed on to the stage at the peak of the evening and took us all on a wild ride. I was having flash backs from 1980 then to the present. Faces, symbols of bands on clothes, and the movement of the crowd all was so familiar to me. At one point I stood between two big guys that were protecting me from the slam pit because it got rough as usual. I blissed-out out on the smell of leather and smoke and the sound of the music.
After the show the cool feel of sweat renewed me. As if going to a Sona at the local Buddhist temple. I felt clean, good and with the people and scene that I respect. No complaints here. In the girl’s bathroom i had a gulp of Cobra Malt Beer with some youngsters. They were happy to have what they call an “Old School girl” hang with them for a short time, even if it was only for a gulp and a piss. They took a picture. Fun!
