Portable Men and The Clementones
Forty is not the new twenty. It is not even the new thirty. Forty is forty, and I've gotta say... you can still rock your ass off no matter how old you get.
King Kong Girio had his big birthday bash last night, playing with the Portable Men -- their first gig together -- and The Clementones. He still had the beard. And the place was packed last night, with fans that were young enough to be my kids (had I been knocked up in my early teens, but still) and some old enough to be my parents. Mitch is the guy. And I saw so many old friends, and met a few new ones, that once again I owe him big time.
Here are a few photos, taken in and out of a Bud haze (hey... beer is cheaper than a chocolate martini! And it's what Yvonne was sipping, so who was I to argue?). Info will be in the individual photos, if you are of the more curious sort.
