Sunday I hung out in a sleazy bar. After I went to church.

That probably sounds way worse than it was. I didn’t drink. I did get some second hand smoke from the clothing around me. Worse yet, I got crop-dusted by two-or-three patchouli wearing hipsters.

The Turf Club probably isn’t really sleazy. It’s just hard to get past the bouncer who’s “flying colors” at the door. Not yet patched but I’m sure he’s working on it very hard. Just the bottom rocker so far.

We went to see Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers.

Fantastic show. If you get a chance to see them, spend the bucks to go and have a good time. They’re even better in person than the web performances I’ve seen.

If you aren’t familiar with them, here’s a video to enjoy:

Is there a music venue you like that’s “sleazy” but beloved? Do you have something in your life that is totally innocent but probably frowned upon by your church?
