Lauren opened out eyes to the 11th Street club scene this past Sunday night. Her very talented and overwhelmingly adorable friend, Heidi, was performing with The Wronglers http://culturemap.com/newsdetail/03-17-11-the-wronglers-with-jimmie-dale-gilmore-get-it-right-at-sxsw/ .
Along with other eager attendees we lined up outside Slim's on 11th St to get stamped and, well, squashed into a throng of folk, um, youngER folk, cheek to jowl awaiting the opener for the night, The Barbary Ghosts. www.thebarbaryghosts.com
With some help from a staff member we were gifted some stools in a space against the wall to the right of the stage. Getting a shot, especially of the hugely popular Wronglers was a challenge* that I pretty much gave up on although, entirely out of necessity, getting across the room through the sea of people to get to the loo and back proved doable. I discovered my Inner Linebacker.
Both groups were great, the evening memorable and all in all I am eager for more.
* above, an image of The Barbary Ghosts, is shot through a railing on the right of the stage. dark at the left of the image was a large post. Twas my personal best!
