The Spider Dome

This is a bar that is seriously about 7 miles down a dirt road off the highway, about 7 miles outside of any major town. You’re literally drinking on some farmland. It used to be a crazy little dome structure, but then it burned down. I can’t even fully explain it.

On top of that, Hooch was expecting a lot more of his musicians friends to come jam. Everyone was confused. We pulled it together, it just ended up being a weird mix of achachay and jam and just having musical fun on stage, in front of strangers.

Some of our best buddies like Dom and Andre and CJ came, and we had a really good time playing with them.

All in all, it was a night befitting of the Spider Dome. To be honest, I was a little disappointed that the rebuilt bar is not a dome, and being new, has a distinct absence of spiders.
