So this is the isle of Lesbos, huh? What do you gals do for fun around here on a Friday night? Apparently, they all go to the last Friday's Indigo Girls concert at the zoo. The crowd was about 70% women, with maybe 75% of them possibly of the Sapphic persuasion. This is an estimate made based on the bad haircuts, painters pants and the amount of female to female touching and rubbing going on. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. The show was sold out, and there was the usual waiting forever in long lines to get in the place, but it was an amazingly mellow and pleasant affair. Must have been the difference between all the estrogen vs. the Latino testosterone of the Los Lonely Boys show. Yes, there was much alcohol consumption, but not as much excess, and no fights or disputes.
As for the show it was okay to good. There was an unannounced opening act, Skip or Stu or Stan somebody, who came out and angrily strummed his guitar and sang far too serious folk songs. I did recognize one song from hearing it on KBAC, so he must have been somewhat famous. The Girls were good, but I had the same complaint Karen did: either due to poor diction or poor mike-ing, you couldn't make out what they said or sang at least half the time. Also, most of the Girls songs had a "same-ness" about them, even though I really like that general sound.
