Saturday, May 4. First time in a couple years I haven’t heard that absolutely trendy, stupid, lame…nah we’re not going there I’m a grown adult and don’t need to enable the nonsense.
What isn’t nonsense is my buddy Craig (my dude I have Phillies season tickets with!) had a reunion with his band. After eight, yeah EIGHT years, The Lebowskis decided to grace Harrisburg, PA with their presence again! They played their album, Tuesday Nights, in its entirety ending with an amazing song about chicken relating to all of our favorite hockey team.
Now we rely on the opposing NBA team to miss two free throws so we can maybe get a Red Bull or 5-piece if we’re lucky and eligible! Yes, I got screwed out of a Red Bull at a Sixers game because my ticket said I didn’t live in a certain county. What a ripoff!
Anyway, the show took place at HMAC, a really sick venue located here in Central, Pennsylvania. That stands for Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center. And it’s located near one of the best markets in the South Central, PA area: Broad Street. Easily one of my favorite farmer’s markets aside from similar offerings from West Shore. If you’re local, go there. By, “go there,” I mean check ‘em both out! You won’t be disappointed.
BUT to stay on topic- I’m fairly bummed, however, because after calibrating my camera to the proper settings, formatting my cards and bringing extra cards, batteries and a nice bag because it was pouring the rain down outside the venue I forgot one critical thing- shutter speed! So I shot aperture priority all night as opposed to full manual. Oooooffff, Michael… you know better! However, I was there to enjoy myself and watch one of my favorite bands. It was a positive experience and I saw folks I hadn’t seen for years and met new friends. I even befriended some Canadians who hated every band I liked from Canada. At least my country can’t claim Nickelback. Just sayin’.
Here’s some images of the show! What a blast! Check the guys out on Facebook here as well as Spotify.
