Cheryl and I went and saw a Buck 65 concert just before Christmas up at the Doug Fir Lounge. I was immediately impressed by the uniqueness of the hotel. There were people standing out in the courtyard/parking lot area. Many of them made me feel pretty vanilla. There were creatives to goths to normals to ravers. Most were there to see Buck do his thing. The entire hotel had a 50's retro feel (especially the spartan rooms) and the exterior. The lobby was a dark mirrored finish almost everywhere with pendant lights. All attendants were wearing black, most of them in their twenties. When we were in the lounge for the concert I was surprised by the diversity of people coming to see an obscure underground rapper. Their were people in their late fifties wearing sweaters and wives with glasses and bob cuts who were rapping right along with buck!
With the right vibe, the right mix of talent, and some good promotion, an eclectic mix of people is brought together on a weekly basis to experience dependably good, and diverse entertainment.
