Cleveland - Beachland and the Waterloo district


day 27 Oct 21 Cleveland OH - Beachland Cafe
We saw today a small but complimentary review of Mountain Meadows in November's Mojo Magazine, done by by Sylvie Simmons. Anyways, back to the heart of Rock and Roll.
Have a little look around the Waterloo district and you'll see that this might be the coolest neighborhood in Cleveland. within a block of the club is a Mason's Hall, a used record store (called "Music Saves"), a couple of local art stores... you get the picture (no pun). Speaking of pictures I took some photos of interesting views in the block: one of a van wrapped up in colored plastic bags and another of a place with the suspicious title, "R&D Sausage Co.". If they are still Researching and Developing the sausage, I think I'm not interested in making a purchase.
This will be our last show of the tour with The Wooden Sky, and it is sad because we are not really getting (or giving) a proper sendoff. Tomorrow we will each be going to the CMJ festival in New York, but to different venues. we are splitting up, and tonight's show on a Wednesday night is not exactly the blowout event that we would have hoped to end this tremendous tour with those boys. It is in the plans to make this up by getting together in either New York or Toronto and really send off the tour properly.
On this night we also find out about a friend of the BROOD's, a musician we toured with last year, has become ill. Our hearts are with you Dave, and we pray for a full recovery.
The next morning we split out separately only to reconvene by accident at some random truck stop. Hello and goodbye again.
