A couple of days ago it was SUPER TUESDAY here in Ohio and the US. Ohio was one of ten states that were going to the polls to try and decide which of the four republican candidates they wanted to run for president. It was said that should Mitt Romney win the nomination here in Ohio that'd be it. We wouldn't have to listen to Newt, Rick or Ron anymore and Mitt would be the Republican nominee. Turns out he didn't win by quite a big enough margin, so the battle goes on. Probably time for another debate.
More interestingly we were off out to see the Lemonheads at a new venue for us, the Basement. Before we got to the Basement we had a quick stop off at Barley's Brew Pub. I decided against one of their own brews and went for "The Reverend" an effort from Avery Brewing from Colorado. At 10% I went slowly, but did thoroughly enjoy the dark, caramel-y taste.
Arriving at the Basement it was pretty clear that there were lots of pillars and the stage was lower than most of the rest of the venue. After we had waited out the openers, we maneuvered (without being obnoxious) and got a decent spot. They arrived on stage and in pretty much no time at all played "It's a shame about Ray" start to finish. Evan Dando seemed pretty together, though he seemed to keep getting his hair in his mouth and carrying on as though it was no big deal. He came back and did a few by himself, including "The Outdoor Type" and then the rest of the band came back. Kristen was holding out for "Into your Arms" but what she got was set closer "Style". She wasn't impressed, songs about drugs and getting high don't really do it for her, and it was a bit of a disappointment to finish what was a pretty fun, relatively tight set.
