The clientele was eclectic. As was the attire. Remember the days, when we were younger and there were certain brands that everyone owned and wore. Nowadays, I don't see that as much. We're not all little clones of each other anymore, not in this city at least. Sure, you're gonna spot your shirt on someone else's back from time to time, it happens. But overall the individual can uniquely define themselves with clothes if they so choose. And sunday, many of them made that choice.
Ink is one of the biggest trends today. Everyones all tatted up. And we're not talking a shamrock on your shoulder, or a butterfly on your back. Sleeves worth of ink, backs covered in them, hands, necks, and chests, consumed by them. Some of the art is unbelievable. Some of it is not. But its everywhere, on men and women of all ages. Clearly it's another unique form of asserting individuality.
Honestly though, the food was the best part. The music was sub-par in sound quality, and the bands weren't that spectacular themselves. I would have liked to have seen "The Roots" on Saturday, as they're always on point, but Sundays slots were filled by the likes of wannabe-Chic disco band, "Escort", and soul-remake "Fitz and the Tantrums." Escort would have been a better wedding band, and though Fitz and the Tantrums have some hits, and a fun song to listen to here and there, they certainly weren't going to take the show to the next level for me. And we caught some of "Lez Zeppelin", but the ladies were drown out in a muddled mess of sound. I could barely make out the guitar solos. Even Hall and Oates fell flat, and after a couple beers they always start sounding better to me.
But the food rocked. I wish I could have eaten more. There were stands set up for so many great places I've had food from, and even more that I haven't. Dinosaur BBQ, Hill Country BBQ, Blue Ribbon, Arancini Bros., Crif Dogs, DBGB, Dirty Bird, Porchetta, and a slew of other resturaunts sent forth their finest recipe's. Most just served a single option, like a Pulled Pork Sandwich, or Riceballs. But everything tasted great. There was a hearty variety of different Beers on tap, and wines uncorked as well. I have to say, I was seriously impressed with the scope of it.
