Funny things that happened at the Spanish For Hitchhiking show last night, with the Ponies and Abeja at the Bowling Alley:
In the whirling excitement of our last song, I threw my bass down (carefully this time) and rushed off into the back room. A woman approached me later and asked, "when you ran off stage did you go to the bathroom?". I told her no, I was just wrapped up in the music. She replied, "Oh. Do you know where the bathrooms are?".
A woman in the audience yelled "we love you" between songs, to which Dennis (our vocalist) flatly stated "I don't love you".
In the snack room area, but in plain view from the audience in the other room, I tripped and fell during the Ponies set. It was one of those trips where you end up walking on all fours for a few feet - you really should just take the fall and get the sympathy, but instead you look like a retarded monkee.
I really enjoyed the Ponies' set. They are from Portland, Maine, and I've been on the bill with them on their last three area shows. Last night was my favorite so far. If you haven't attended one of their concerts I highly recommend it. At one point their swirling, hypnotic music was perfectly in sync with the "Girl on a Motorcycle". Henning and I looked at each other and mouthed a silent 'wow'.
