Caught the Revelry gig at the Barking Spider near CWRU tonight. Really good
bluesy moozik.
Revelry did a song like My Wallet Belongs to "Bob" and tossed around a
pipeless rubber Dobbshead, which landed behind the performer's area where
dustballs generally gather. There were enough people familiar with the
CotSG there who appreciated the whole thing, too. Pra'Bob.
The Barking Spider has a logo:

and nobody seemed to notice how much I looked like the huge dude sitting in
the chair.
The place is a little difficult to find there, being behind the Arabica and
so on. I used to work at CWRU back in the 70's and I kept getting
flashbacks from my even earlier student days there. I was one of the rare
commuters that didn't live on campus, and that's where the dorms are, so I
didn't get to that corner of the campus much. Reason being, if you are
caught there for long enough, you may have to EAT there to survive, and the
thought of that was worth the bus ride every day.
Actually, that's the Mather side of the U, and the computer junkies of the
day hung around the Case campus up by the Rapid station. The Mather side
was all liberal arts and the Case side all geek. Besides, I had to ride the
Rapid home, and I hated to walk a mile to get to the north side. Not a damn
chance I would have taken any libart courses taught over there, either.
And now, on to Detroit, see you in that 313...weather and circumstances
permitting.

Hey thanks Mr. Sister!
Princess Wei here, using Rev. Stang's machine.
Ah yes, Sister Melodious Chopps was at her best last night, I'd say. I
was grateful my voice was even there - have had a bad cold for a week.
SO glad you could be there, and bring the Barking Arachnid's logo to
life. It was SO oddvious, sorry you had to point it out to me.
The song you mentioned, My Wallet Belongs To "Bob", is one of several
(at least 3) that Sis Chopps wrote as part of a musical "The Marriage
of "Bob" and Connie" which was only performed only once in Buffalo, NY,
in the early nineties.
The Spider folks mentioned that their mini Palmer head (they truly had
one, I saw it once) had "melted away". Guess that's what they do after
causing a life of living hell for anyone who absconds with one.
The Barking Spider is unique for so many reasons. There's never a cover
charge or even pressure to buy a drink once you're there, and it gives
droves of folk, rock, jazz & bands/soloists of every combination
thereof a chance to perform. They pass the hat, but even that's waay
low pressure. And what other bar (in the U.S.) do YOU know of that has
a burning fireplace, lets you bring your (well behaved) dog, and opens
the floor to ceiling window walls in summer so it's like you're
outside? Thanks again for bein' there!
