January 26, 2019 — Cleveland, OH — The Soft Moon, HIDE

Venue: Grog Shop

This show was weird and ended up being scary and awful. At least the drive home was.

The opening band HIDE was a very scantily clad woman with a deep voice, singing about dark stuff. She walked back and forth in front of the stage while a man played electronic stuff.

The Soft Moon was fine, my girlfriend was a fan, so the tickets were part of her Christmas present.

There weren’t many people at the show and as we exited, we knew why. Somewhere between 3-6” of snow had fallen while we were in the show and it was a weekend night, so the plow truck weren’t out.

It took almost 2 hours for me to drive home and most of the way home I couldn’t see the lines on the roads or the highway. I almost stopped at a hotel in Akron on the way, but ended up making it home safe.

Whitney was exhausted from the day and ended up sleeping on the way home. I envied her.

It was incredibly stressful and one of the worst trips back from a show I have ever had.
