On Another Matter....

[Tom Roche]

So Kid Koala was in own tonight. He was opening for DJ Shadow and Cut 
Chemist. The Kid Koala session was a classic, I recall. So going to 
see his gig was seemingly a no-brainer.

But I just couldn't decide. Kinda expensive. School night. Long drive 
to get there, midtown, no free parking. 34 degrees F and windy 
tonight. But a voice said aw go on, even tho it was curtain time as I 
left home...

At least the roads were clear (Atlanta shuts down on the MLK holiday) 
and I arrived a half hour after the assigned start time... and 
nothing had started and there was a long line of shivering patrons 
around the venue.

All those people out in the cold, and I could see some doorman in the 
distance doing the selective-entry velvet-rope thing.

No thanks. Drove home. Sorry Kid Koala, I ain't 19 no' mo'....
