I haven't heard a note

3:02:42 PM Dimtry:
We are going to lovejoy's to see the Arab League tonight
3:02:56 PM Jack: ok
3:03:24 PM Dimtry: you can look them up. I haven't heard a note, but their schtick sounds awesome

The Set Up: And thus starts are evening. Dimtry really wants to go down to 6th and decides this should be the highlight for the day. R is in town for the week and wants to go downtown so I agree, KD decides he wants to join us.

Build up: We head downtown but it is still early so we hit a hole in the wall where our buddy knows the owner. Round of shots and round of beer later, and I am not sure where Dimtry and KD have wandered off too. They walk back into the bar from the patio and I turn to R and say "baked". Dimtry explains "we are ready to go see the band"

The Plot thickens: We head over to lovejoys, and order a round of beer. Did I mention that lovejoys brews there own beer? They are one of the original microbrews in town What did we order? Lone Star! yeah I think they looked there noses at us.

About this time we notice there is a band playing, is this them I wonder? They don't look Arab? They kinda suck, shit how long am I stuck here....Dimtry assures me this is not them,our boys come on next.

Show Time: Sure Enough a few minutes later the band wraps up. Tears down and our band gets ready. Well it turns out not so much of a band it's 3 white guys dressed up as Arabs, they have a tape player to provide background music. Shit...I send Dimtry to order a round of the beer (the house one this time). Sure enough these guys start rapping with a Persian accent, telling us how they landed on "Arab One". Actually I should say two of them "rapped" the 3rd he just stood in the background with his arms folded in his chest. Once in a way breaking out into dance.

It's over: I am looking at Dimtry and KD, pleading with them to let me leave. But no, they are into it (I guess I should have gone to the patio). I sit threw the set and get them to agree it's time to go.

Dimtry: You want to leave? Your not done with your beer.
Jack: Yeah the beer sucks ass too.
