Retreat was inevitable. I was running out of options. Both the I Ching and Sun-tzu advise that when faced with an overwhelming force, the wise know when to withdraw. The only path forward was to reverse course.
To put it another way, if I continued my Rocktober goal of attending a different venue every time, I may have gone from hanging out at some guy's garage to possibly sitting in your living room, in your home, listening to some dudes of whom you've never heard. I was out of new venues to attend. It was time to go back and start re-visiting some places, and I started this evening with the Tabernacle.
Here's the opening band, Chicago's Smith Westerns:
Headliners were Sheffield, England's Arctic Monkeys.
Here are their pics:
In addition to being smoke-free, The Tabernacle started the show on time and allowed me to get home before 11:00 p.m., both for which I'm enormously grateful.
