Andy Dick is a Hack

Last night I went to El Cid for the last Mount Righteous show in L.A.  El Cid is a really cool mexican restaurant with a stage behind a big red velvet curtain.  The vibe was almost cabaret-esque, or a dinner theatre where the entertainment is a, little above average, magic act.  Everyone was really into the band. The audience stepped away from their tables and danced in what I assume is a designated dance space.  They played 2 sets in between bands.  The second band was led by one of the new members of the re-formed Rentals.  They were pretty good, but nothing to write home about.  The last performance came from a man that I can only describe as a modern day yacht rock enthusiast.  Apparently he was friends with Andy Dick.  So,  Andy Dick was there boozing up with what I can only assume as a homosexual posse.  In a drunken haze, Andy Dick rushed the stage a couple of times to perform some songs with the artist.  The small audience found it amusing, but I don't know if it was necessarily funny. Anyways, I said my good byes to the band after the show as they head off to Denver.  It was really great having them in town.  After they left, Mike and I decided to drown our sorrows in a less than mediocre Burrito from the Burrito King.  Happy Memorial Day?
