I had settled on attending a Beehive show for this month. They were scheduled to play at The Crocodile Cafe tonight, along with Elder Mason headlining and Bridges opening. I had listened to bits of songs by both Elder Mason and Bridges on their MySpaces, just enough to establish that they sounded interesting and make me curious to see them live. And of course, Beehive's always good.
On Sunday, The Crocodile Cafe permanently closed. Although there'd been recent news suggesting it'd been having some trouble, this sudden closure was still unexpected by everyone including the Croc's own staff. Despite the abrupt closure, some of the scheduled shows were able to find new venues quickly, including this one, which moved to El Corazón, still for tonight.
However, I am not at the show right now, because I came down with a cold this week. The cold teased me, starting as just a slightly sore throat on Monday evening, just a hint of congestion and unusual tiredness through Tuesday, before finally turning to full-on stuffy nose and general malaise today. Stupid cold. The only bright side is that if I'm feeling lousy now, I ought to be better by Sunday when I fly East to my parents' for Christmas. Hopefully I might even be healthy for my birthday/New Year's Eve this year; it seems like I've been sick for that occasion every year since moving to Seattle.
In any case, with my plans for tonight ruined, I don't expect to make it to another show this month. Beehive are playing on New Year's Eve at the Skylark Cafe, and I'm sure that's going to be a blast; however, I've been invited to a New Year's Eve party by some friends, so I won't be at that show either. Oh well, I'll have to start looking forward to January and see who's playing.
