I had a really good time at the Pixies show last Thursday night. The only thing is- I was really surprised that you couldn't bring in cigarettes and lighters. I've never heard of any place patting people down looking for those things. I wasn't gonna try to smoke inside, of course ( some poor girl in front of me tried and someone came up to her with a flashlight) but I did need my lighter. It was hard enough walking around with a spoon and everything stuffed in my sock; it was just more of a hassle.
I remember awhile back, right after Boston enacted the smoking band, some new band from England was playing the Paradise. From some reason the Libertines rings a bell. Anyway, during their encore, the lead singer lit a cigarette on stage. A bouncer shined a flashlight on him until he put it out.
Now, I'm not a smoker and actually enjoy the fact that I can now go out without smelling like an ashtray at the end of the night. But sometimes it gets a little ridiculous.
