where is it tonight? im pretty sure my office is only a couple blocks away

5/7/2009 1:51:53 PM

Ess Lounge Parking lot, the train station Depot basically.

It will be there for every AA5.

5/7/2009 1:54:24 PM

if this is true they sure have done a shitty job promoting this

5/7/2009 1:59:44 PM

the only one of these i'd want to see is the breakfast club. i actually like the breakfast club, oops.

another bad but good band i really like is who's bad. i wish they would have an alive after 5 with who's bad!

sounds fun, i just don't really care for most of the musical acts

but i guess if you're drinking and w/ friends who really cares anyway!

5/7/2009 2:04:49 PM

it's no fun to sit around and drink while listening to a bad band

it's tremendous fun to sit around and drink while listening to an awful band, though

so some of these dates are promising

Except for BC, I don't know a single one.

5/7/2009 2:09:58 PM

I might check it out after the gym when I'm all stanky.

5/7/2009 2:10:45 PM

if you had called this thread "Five Alive Juice," there would be a chance for a really wicked parody

5/7/2009 2:49:43 PM

American Aquarium is the only one on the list that sparks any interest at all for me, but it's still only a minor interest

However, at least in the past, these things brought out hoards of drunken broads....That said, I'll probably make it out for one or two of them.

5/7/2009 2:59:07 PM

<3 stoneage romeos

5/7/2009 3:10:45 PM

^^bingo.

You go out there, you talk to your buddies, you get a buzz, you spit some game to broads, all with some music playing in the background.

And its free.

5/7/2009 3:56:08 PM

I've seen the breakfast club twice at Lincoln theater and they're awesome.

5/7/2009 4:22:37 PM

simply irresistable was pretty awesome last night. they played all kinds of shit. rap, funk, rock...take your pick.

5/8/2009 7:19:02 AM

^^Saw you and Stein out there last night.

Not a lot of people, probably will be more next time! 6-11's all well and good, but when the band doesn't start playing till 7:45 it is a bit annoying.

most certainly. and its not bad since its byob. north hills has a thursday event now but you can't bring your own beer and its mostly people who went to alive after five 4 years ago and now have kids.

however drunk dads playing with their children is an amazing scene.

5/8/2009 10:37:54 AM

land of cougars

5/8/2009 11:28:41 AM

i'd say more like milfs. they were early 30s with little ones, so not quite cougars yet. i guess for me the lower bound age limit on a cougar would be 45

5/8/2009 11:37:17 AM

Funny you mentioned that, we were discussing the fine line between milfs and cougars over some cold beverages the other day....

5/8/2009 11:39:24 AM

Next one's this Thursday. Who's going?!

I've noticed a lot of people out there bringing their dogs. So I think I'm gonna bring mine out this time. Could be fun.

6/1/2009 11:52:01 AM

robot dog


lol jk, bomber was awesome in the OBX

6/1/2009 11:54:21 AM

the last one of these I went to, some guy pushed my friend (a girl) and my bf said something to him about it, and the guy flipped out as if Eric had no right to say something to him... The guy was a total dickhead, tried starting a fight, it was ridiculous. We immediately said "fuck this" and left... Too many drunk and outrageous people for my taste. It was the show with Eve 6 and (I think) Puddle of Mudd.

6/1/2009 11:55:59 AM

So I take it you don't go to any concerts at all anymore?

Pretty sure you're talking about Downtown Live too

6/1/2009 12:03:17 PM

Oh I was referring just to Downtown Live.. Someone please tell me it's normally not that ridiculous. One of my friends told me it was wayyyy more packed than normal. They also mentioned not as many douchebags can be found there for other concerts.

6/1/2009 12:06:13 PM

i went to downtown live this saturday and it was ridiculously packed!! the VIP tent was tight though. you had room to breath, no lines for beer and our own bathrooms so that was clutch.

i've never been to the thing at the depot. i'm too busy during the week to party downtown. not to mention i don't get off of work unti 6:30 most days anyway.

6/1/2009 12:18:50 PM

^^So why are you talking about Downtown Live in this thread? They're different events.

I mean 2 big guys at The Busy Bee Saturday night were being huge dicks and (I think) were trying to get in a fight with me. Should I not go to the Busy Bee anymore?

Sparky! I was out at DL as well, showed up around 9 from a kegger so I was already 3 sheets to the wind. It was...interesting to say the least ( )

6/1/2009 1:25:34 PM

Whoops, realized I totally read the title wrong (aka glanced ).. my b. I just didn't like how hot it was, I could barely see the show, people were startin shit everywhere (not just with us).. It was just a madhouse and not worth standing in for Puddle of Mudd.

6/1/2009 1:37:10 PM

hahaha....pat you party like you are still in college.

6/1/2009 1:38:43 PM

hahaha, I do man. I think it was the 9 games of beer pong I played before going out that really put me over the edge

6/1/2009 1:47:24 PM

^Were you at the busy bee or the hive saturday night? I was upstairs at the Hive. But of course don't remember a thing haha

6/1/2009 3:33:27 PM

^I was at Busy Bee Friday night. Saturday I didn't make it over there. Stumbled over to Tir Na Nog and then Foundation.

You bringing your dog out to AA5 this week?

6/1/2009 4:43:19 PM

Alive After Five has been cancelled this week, due to a forecast for rain tomorrow afternoon.

Whatever that means (forecast calls for 60% chance of Tstorms, so I guess I understand).

6/3/2009 12:09:25 PM

Looks like last week's cancellation was warranted, given all the rain that fell that day.

Next one is next week, the 18th!
