A Night On The Town

We may not be as old and frumpy as rumor suggests...

We went out last night to catch a concert at the Cafe Montmartre, a reasonably classy little place over by the Capitol. Anita noticed that an Ithaca band (J-San and the Analogue Sons) was playing there, and we haven't been to see any live music in a while, so we took naps in the afternoon and rolled in for the 9:30 (really about 10:00, of course) show.

It was cool. They play a sort of reggae/ska-influenced rock, and they play it very well. Lots of fun. Appropriately enough, the Montmartre itself had a very Ithacan vibe to it - something like a cross between Stella's and the ABC, with hints of the old Haunt once it fills up completely. It was an interestingly mixed crowd of old hippies, young hippies, young hipsters, old hipsters, and a few confused-looking Packers fans. There were also make very classy snacks, including a "Chocolate Gooey" dessert which lives up to its name, and delivery of which through a tight-packed dance floor earned our waitress a serious bonus on her tip.
