Evening @ Pageant

Looking east towards Downtown Clayton.I went to Pageant last night to see the Ticketmaster New Music event.

There were 5 local bands playing and acoustic interludes. We saw The Turnstyles, Earl, and Colony. The Turnstyles, and Earl were the best.

Colony wasn’t too bad, but they were kind of a college boy band. Think N’sync meets Bauhaus, meets The Rolling Stones.

All in all, Pageant is much better than I thought it was going to be. It’s very spacious, and there are lots of tables, and bars to rest your drink on.

The stage is set pretty far back in the space, so there’s room for Dance floor. There is an upstairs, but it was closed last night.

It’s not like I hate crowds, but if you can be in a club like this, and pack it full of people, and still not feel crowded, thats good. And that is what Pageant is like.

What can I tell you, I liked it. good atmosphere, good music, good beer and hot chicks. What more could fellow ask for?

Here is the full schedule for the night:

8-8:40        Turnstyles
8:55-9:35     Earl
9:50-10:30    Colony
10:45-11:25   Tripstar
11:50-12:20   PhonoCaptors
12:35-1:15    FullSystemPurge

One great thing was that since they did not have a schedule of bands the bartender wrote it down on a napkin for me. That was pretty cool — since it took alot of time to do… I wouldn’t have blamed him if he had blown me off.
