Making the REVERB Rounds
October 2nd, 2009
So with 60+ bands playing 10 venues spread out through Ballard, seeing everyone worth seeing is going to be impossible-though I’ve made claims to the contrary. In looking at the schedule I found that with a little luck and a LOT of time management, I’m going to be able see almost every top priority band I wanted to. Hopfully there won’t be any shortage of “Street Meat” vendors so I can get my grub on while running between venues.
.
I’ve also worked in some mandatory time to hang at Kings Hardware for Ballard’s best bloodies and to hunker down in a booth with a bucket of gin and tonic at the Smoke Shop – just before stumbling over to the Sunset for Unnatural Helpers. Wish me luck!
.
OK, here’s how I’m hoping to spend 10 sweet hours of my day.
Below is a little map of Ballard with all the venues from my plan of attack.
3:30 Fresh Espresso at NY Fashion Academy
4-4:15 Visqueen at Salmon Bay Eagles
5:00 Drinks at Kings
5:30 Born Anchors at Sunset Tavern
6:30 Street Meat
7:00 Lonely H at Salmon Bay
8:00 Stay at SAlmon Bay for Thee Emergency
8:30 Shanendoah Davis @ Hatties Hat
9:00 Redwood Plan out at the Bit
10:00 Drinks at the Smoke Shop
10:30 Unnatural Helpers next door at Sunset
11:30 Stat at Sunset for coconut Coolouts
12:00 Maldives at Tractor
1:30 Street Meat and bed (or late night Wii.. whichever)
.
Whew!!!

Sorry, 4-4:15 is my appx arrival time at Visqueen – Not my stay.. I’m going to do my best to catch the whole set, depending on how much Espresso tears it up.

Yeah, LB, some jerk on facebook doubted it was possible as well. Hope you make it out!

Such tough choices. I feel like going outside the box and seeing whats going down on the Volterra stage. Jazz and afrobeat on a fall ballard night? Maybe.
* How did I confuse Lonely H for Local H? Wait…I see now.

Why don’t you just call the Street Meat and Drinks Festival?
