V.I.P. with a side of Chili

We rolled V.I.P. last Saturday at the 9:30 club…  The night started with some free appetizers and Budweiser drinks in the downstairs bar.  I thought I disliked Bud Light but I was wrong I hate it!

Then we moved upstairs to the V.I.P. viewing area.

CSS the headliner gave a great performance and under normal circumstances I would have been content with their show… but these were not normal circumstances.  Ssion was the opening performance and CSS paled in comparison.  Ssion gave one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long time.  All the elements were working together video, dancing, set, sound, and passion.  Even after watching CSS people still left the club singing “gee whiz street jizz.”

I was too busy taking it all in to get a pic so I found this one on their myspace.

Sadly I don’t think their recorded tracks do the performed songs justice but here is one anyway.
Street Jizz

If you get a chance you must see them perform!  You know you’re in the presence of artistic genius when you hear “Step by step oooo Christmas, gonna be your Santa Claus”  To the tune of New Kids on the Block.

We topped the night off with some chili cheese fries at Ben’s Chili Bowl.

Last week I saw an Email saying:

Fear not: 9:30 Club and electro-pop Brazilians CSS are here to save the holidays for you and 29 of your coworkers. First, you’ll start off with a private happy hour with free drinks from Budweiser and a sampling of 9:30 menu items. After that, you’ll head to a private VIP viewing area for CSS’s off-the-wall indie rock antics.
Want to win? Simply send a YouTube video link to list_serve@930.com telling us why your office needs this party. Keep the videos funny, but clean, and under one minute. Deadline is Tuesday, December 16 by 7pm. The winning video will be posted in next week’s email blast.

So Caleb and I decided to make a music video with our plea.

And today’s Email blast from the 9:30 club had this.

Yes it does say James Kavata… but we still won!
