I give

[vicarz]

Last night I gave out around 1am - the show wasn't even over. It was the second night in a row that smoke forced tears from my eyes in droves. I tried moving around, I tried going to less smokey areas, but it wasn't enough. Anticipating the smoke after dying on Friday, I took claritin - but it made no dent in the onslaught. I can handle the Edge and Nation, but I think I have to give up on staying past midnight in any small venues. It's just not worth it to me.

Siddal was amazing, Ascension put on a farewell performance, and Strange Boutique was FULL of energy. I feel horrible for missing the last part of their set.

The played until 2am. Their last song was a cover of "Strange Day" by the Cure...

I have problems with the smoke too. I think it's worse for me because I used to smoke. I can't do two days in a row anymore.

I'm with ye on that! It really sucked when I was working at the damned strip club and even all the way at the front door I would get smoked out on a regular basis...had to keep eyedrops in the desk there! And Orpheus...shit, no matter how much I used to love that little place, it has zip for ventilation...I was lucky if I could stay there for more than 2 hours without having to leave from burning eyes. Maybe some penicillin for that burning sensation...
