Hedwig
Posted by Gian on June 25th, 2007
Last night, Anthony and I went to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Neumos. It was a great show! It took Hedwig a couple songs to get into it, but once the band got on, the show was great! The only bad thing about the show was a few stupid guys who heckled… I think they didn’t realize what they show is about.
After the show, Anthony and I had an interesting conversation about Capital Hill. The audience was a great example of what CH is becoming. We went to a gay themed show, yet gays were not the majority. It was a mix of straight and gays, but most definitely mostly straight people. The straight crowd included a mix of yuppy people who seemed out of place (but tried REALLY hard to fit in) and obnoxious frat-boys. Slowly, the gay ghetto is turning into over-priced condos that are replacing the artists, gays, and odd-ducklings that made CH such a fun place. Once it is so expensive that none of the cool people live there, what will be the draw?
