Wanna thank all that showed up to the Dec 5th show. Especially the Terminal Bar, gawd do I love that place. And I mean I love everything about it, from the impossibly ornery yet strangely loveable owner, Flem, to the wide array of colorful townies that frequent it’s fine establishment.  And by colorful, I actually mean alchoholic and desperately seedy, which is awesome because I don’t know anywhere else that has Rick (his real name) yelling out requests for Jimi Hendrix and Beatles covers during ours and everyone else’s set….Rick, with his toupee-like coif that looked so Hair Club for Men presidential and a tan that seem shellacked by first year art students he looked bathed in nuclear plant run-off was truly the highlight of my evening….Dude’s got my vote for “Best Townie at Terminal”, but I’ll take submissions as well…

But the Terminal wasn’t always that cool, for awhile the place was an absolutely shitty place to play.  The booking people were complete douches, soundguys were on par for douchery and management was…well, the management was Flem, more curmudgeon than cuddly.  And now? Tom and Jason are now doing the booking and they’re booking agents with an actual human soul, the sound guys are getting much more competent and Flem is Flem is God.  I can’t ask for anything more….
