Opening for Cher on this leg of the concert tour was, believe it or not, the Village People. The were a lot more fun to see than I thought they’d be, and it was nice to see that they were as concerned with the plight of First Avenue as the locals. The Cowboy, when he got his turn at the mic, said how they must’ve been gone for too long, because what do they find when they get back? First Avenue closed.

I’m very excited for it to re-open, and in the meantime, the national press is picking up the story of its fall and rise. Where else are you going to see the mayor of a major metropolitan area stage-dive at a Gwar concert? For some reason, I kinda wish it was Sharon doing it, instead of R.T. You know, just for the visual effect.
