Neil Young Night @ Yucca

Katie decided to sit Yucca out based on some developments we'd guessed earlier in the day and confirmed later tonight, so after dropping off Katie at the apartment, Aaron and I headed over to Yucca. It's the first time I've been since having the apartment, and driving down there really drove home what a sweet location we picked to live. A short ride up Hardy and then an even shorter one down Southern, and there you in the parking lot of Yucca Tap.

Within minutes the cavilcade of familiar faces became known - first JV who walked out for a smoke right when we got there, Corey, Rich & the guitarist from SYT, Daryl Icard, PC, Mark & Emmett...and the list goes on. Given there were a lot less people we knew last time we were at Yucca, it was really cool to have more familiar Yucca experience. And to boot, Venus was behind the bar. Being their last month with no Venus was just weird to me.

We stay until 12:30 when Aaron started to get tired and decided to head back. On the way out Mark said he was going on after two bands - which seemed surprising given the time. As much as I'd have liked to have seen him, the Neil Young covers had less appeal and given how tired Aaron was and I was starting to get there too, heading home was the best idea. Plus Aaron had determined that Jesse wasn't playing which gave him a lot less reason to hang around.
