I know that no one reads this but if there is someone reading this and you don't know what all of that means.....it equals two nights of some raw, awesome, sick-nasty music.
It definitely makes me happy that the Biscuits think enough of their fans in Richmond to do two nights at The National. They must really like the venue as well. I know I do. The National is a really, really nice place. The people who manage that place know exactly what they're doing and whoever planned/built the place is obviously extremely experienced because they make everything pretty comfortable. It also flows really well and the prices on booze aren't too high. Liquor drinks are $6. Beers are either $5 or $6. Its definitely worth it to go for the liquor drinks because not only are they the same price as the beers, but the bartenders poured a lot of bourbon in all of my bourbon and cokes. Phil, Kent, Zach, and I most assuredly went through at least 1 bottle of Jim Beam ourselves last night and I know I put a hurting on another bottle the first night. The highlights of both shows were in the first night during Basis>Great Abyss>Basis, the second night during Shelby>The City>Shelby, and also in the second night during Lai>I-Man>42. All of those times I could just feel how much the crowd was getting into it. You know its a good show when you can feel the energy of the whole venue about to explode out of the roof. Its those times when you just can't control how crazy you're dancing and don't care how you look or what other people think about you. You gotta just hope you don't have too much of your drink left because chances are its going to be spilled either by you or some crazy hippie.
