Beehive Juggernauts opened for Abney Park's Circus at the End of the World again. They opened for AP the last time I saw them, as well, but under the moniker The Tin Can Tobacco Band. I like them and I was looking for their next venue (unsuccessfully; I'm not sure how they get the word out to their fan base yet...) when I stumbled on a previous event of theirs at the Gypsy Cafe in Fremont. Checking the Cafe calendar, I found, not the Juggernauts, but a Russian Open Mic.

The DH was off seeing about The Cabin septic tank and whether we need it inspected, and The Girl was at a business planning dinner with the 3D club, AND, probably more important, the cafe had a hummus veggie wrap that really sounded good, so I headed off there for the evening.

It was interesting, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't Russian. The best way to describe it: think of karaoke, but with instruments. There were quite of few instances where ones who could play well, couldn't sing, and the ones who could sing couldn't play well. But it was fun, and I'm glad I went alone. The DH would have hated it, The Girl would have been bored, but I enjoyed listening and thinking about Laurette.

Oh, and as to *why* it wasn't Russian? Yesterday was the *23rd*, not the *24th*. Now I've got to decide whether I'm going to head that way again tonight...
