My night with Pat and Keith

5 feet away. That's how far away I was from Pat of Pat McGee Band and Keith of Vertical Horizon tonight at Bristol, RI. The tiny venue lent for the intimate setting. And what a setting. It's the kind of place where, after you spill beer on yourself (klutz!) you step in line to go to the bathroom to clean up, and you're behind Keith. But in my case, I didn't realize it was Keith. Instead, I have a nice little chat with the guy about the venue, about the upstairs space (where Keith offered to write me a note for admittance), and just seemed like a nice guy. Very down to earth. Only after the concert started when Pat introduces his friend, Keith, did I realize who I had stood in line for the bathroom with! This would never have happened at any other place. Not at Paradise. Not a 9:30 club. No, this hole-in-the-wall place in Bristol where I got to meet Pat and Keith, say hello, chat a little about DC, and take a picture. What a night. The 3 hours driving there and back was worth it. What an experience!
