I hadn't been back here since I came back from Chicago until one night in early March. I had been working a street team event for City Pages and the last place we stopped at was Sgt. Preston's. Well, let me just say it wasn't really my scene- not really down with dead animals on the wall and drinking out of fishbowls with other people- backwash anyone?- but I digress...
So we left and the girl I was working with suggested Nomad. I was really glad she did for two reasons; one: I wanted to hang out with her more because she was cool as hell and two: I really wanted an adult beverage. So we got back in her car and drove the 6 blocks to Nomad- I rue the weather here, it makes me lazy and feel like I need a car!- and walked inside.
There was a live band playing- all I can say is that it was like Sonic Youth, Bowie and Megadeath were having a bad menage à trios. The sound was simultaneously repulsive and hypnotic.
I am not a big beer fan, so i got my standard Jack and Coke. It was nice and stiff. While we were sitting at the bar this guy started yelling every time the band stopped playing "yous suck" "ferck orff" and other random slurred insults.
It wasn't real crowded, but there was a large group of people at the front for the band. The crowd looked like it fit the stereotype of whatever version of emo hipster punk is cool these days. The guy yelling was a white guy wearing real baggy pants a big puffy jacket and a hat with the bill to the side- one of those guys from here who think they're really tough but if you dropped them about 3 blocks from where I lived in Chicago they would crap their pants and run back to Mommy. The guy was drunk and had something to prove and seemed hell bent on getting someone to give him an excuse.
We went outside and tried to start a fire while we were smoking. Didn't work. So we smoked in the cold. Apparently the show ended while we were out there. All these people came out of the door by the stage and angry white boy came out of the door by the end of the bar. This couple started to try and climb over the wrought iron fence and the section they were on fell down. Most of us laughed and called out "you okay?" I thought it was hilarious because the guy was so little I didn't see how he could take out a wrought iron fence! Not Angry though, he had found the scapegoat for his pent up aggression. He started yelling a string of unintelligible gibberish and the little guy yelled back. Before you know it everyone was yelling and laughing but not Angry. He ran up to the little guy and punched him. Well everyone was there to break it up right away and Little guy and girl left with Angry yelling still. Hi-larious. I love people watching.
So yeah- it was quite the welcome back and I rather enjoyed it.
