I just moved to Normal Heights and it was my first time trying to go out at night to see how the night life was in my new neighborhood. Other than when I went to perform at Open Mic night at Lestat's which I hope to do again tonight (every monday). It was a Sunday night at about 9PM, so I didn't expect too much to be going on, but it was Cinco de Mayo so I thought some people would still be out on a Sunday night. As I passed I heard a live band playing and decided to try the place out. It was a very cool place and the band was amazing, "The Munks." The only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star, is I had two drinks, a tequila sunrise and a small margarita. Both very small, but good drinks. I'm such a lightweight that I was already buzzed with the first one (and I had a hit of my medicinal herb before coming in), so after dancing to the music for a little while and stepping outside for another hit of my pipe, I decided to get a second drink, which I don't usually do at most bars, because I usually have to drive home. But being it's right down the road from my new home, I got another drink. Then when I closed out my credit card tab it was a total of about 21 dollars and some change, which is pretty expensive for most places I've been to in San Diego lately, where most mixed drinks are about 6 to 8 dollars. So I said to the bar tender, very cool guy, "I guess it's worth 10 dollars a drink when you don't change a cover charge for the great band." I just hope as a performing musician that they pay the band a good price for playing, because I wouldn't have come in the bar it it weren't for them playing. I wished I had some cash to give the band a tip, but I put a 5 dollar tip on my 20 plus dollar two drink receipt. Next time I'll ask the price of drinks before I order to see if they weren't just trying to stiff me as a person never seen at that place before and acting a little crazy as i usually do when I go out at night.
