The Fetishized Skins of Proto-human Kentuckians

Well it was good to see the old gang in the old hole we used to know as Karaoles.

But wait! Has the old hole become the new Gastodive!?  That is a big 10-4, good buddy!

While there is a shrine to some of the Legacy Characters including some of their holy relics, I would say the clientele has "evolved".  Evolved from the proto-human Kentuckian throwbacks to Urban Millennials who apparently delight in cloaking in the fetishized skins of proto-human Kentuckians.

Turns out to mostly be the same thing without the language barrier and the underlying threat of sudden violence.

Most notable differences as a result of the gastrodive transition...

1. Wednesday!?
2. No bouncer!  Given I didn't see anyone the entire night that had could have possibly thrown a punch in their lives, probably not a requirement any longer
3. Lots of branded collateral... coasters, etc  "Karaoles Pub... since 1972..."
4. Complete modernized K ekuipment.  Not a buggy integration of lousy hardware that we are accustomed to... but a streamlined integrated system complete with remote monitors with a projected line-up... and no slips - just a waiting-list style signup list with the new KG and an online "book".  (The new KG probably deserves his own post)
5. A new crop of K regulars that are not us.  Again probably a natural and positive transition.  While they tend to be a bit more performance-oriented than I am comfortable, it seems to suit this new generation. 
6. Decent food - due to its new gastrodive orientation.

In general it was a good evening with a good group and no evidence of Jamming so far

The Line Up
The Alien:  Paint it Black (some more)
Lisa:  Union City Blues (revitalized)
Chris:  Ring of Far
Rhonda: (chose to sit this one out) - out of bewilderment, I assume
Ryan:  “You Can Have the Crown” by Sturgill Simpson (and was literally crowned by KG)
Matt:  (chose to sit this one out) - ditto
Sophie:  (chose to sit this one out) - out of ironic bewilderment, I assume

See you next W @ K's
