Before discussing the band I have to ask, "Is it a requirement that rural Iowa bars have a dead animal hanging on the wall?" I didn't mind, however, as this was a bar near Anamosa and seeing a deer on the wall is better than on the road. In 1997 I drove this stretch of 151 several hundred times. I am still amazed I didn't hit a deer. I lost track of the close calls.
Anyhow, my friend Mark performs in the cover band Stifle. They performance was good and I can understand why they've gained groupies. Their next performance is September 26th at the Breakroom.
I decided to support the band by buying a t-shirt ($10) and a bumper sticker ($4). The groupie in charge of the merchandise took my $20 and handed me the merchandise. Then she started playing with her cell phone. I paused and finally asked, "Umm, can I get change back?"
"Hold on," she replied. "I am adding it up on my phone."
Oh.
There are stuffed rattlesnakes and such at most of the straight bars here. Some sick fetish with straight folks and stuffed woodland (desert) creatures, I guess.
