You Know it is Going to be an Interesting Gig When...
...There is a sign on the marquis that reads, "Fri. Dixie Express, Sat. That 80s Band, Breakfast Special $2.99, Rooms $49."
The Stratford Inn was actually pretty cool, though. I tend to judge a bar by whether or not they carry imported beer. I was able to purchase my Heiniken at $3.50 a bottle, so I was a happy gal. I don't think they carry Guinness, though. Oh well. There are worse things. The bar had some of the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen in a bar, as well. The bar's clientele and wait staff was alright, too. No one tried to jump on stage and no one tried to hand any of us anything or talk to us while we were in the middle of a song.
Two of the band's regulars, Jenn and Sharon, celebrated their birthdays with us on Saturday, as well. Poor Jenn called me on Sunday and said, "Don't believe anything that Steve or Dave or Rich tells you." Don't worry, Jenn. I know better. I am just sorry I could not stay for the hotel room after-party. It has been a very long time since I've attended a wild hotel room party. It's probably better that way, though. I hate waking up naked wondering who cleaned out the mini bar. The Stratford Inn does not seem like the type of place to have mini bars in the rooms, though.
I remember when Radiogram toured the Middle East. Clint, Mike, and I tried to re-stock our mini bar in our Bahrain hotel room after a long night of drinking. The only thing left in the fridge was a Coke, as a matter of fact. The hotel knew better, though. Mini bars can really eat up a band's per diem fast.
Oh yeah, Saturday there was a photographer at the bar. There was a high school Battle of the Bands going on in a banquet room. The photographer handed me a disk at the end of the night of all the pictures he took of us. Thank you, Lemmons Photography in Fenton, MO.
