Stuck in Lodi again

We left Oceanside yesterday, so sad to go. But this would not be a tour if we got too attached to each city we visit. Onwards back down to Lodi, CA where I am from. A little spot in the valley about 30 milles south of Sacramento. Tonight we play at what could potentially be one of the "rougher" crowds we have had a chance  to perform in front of..here is a quite humorous review I have read about tonights venue "

"Nino's is a fantastic place to observe the North American Cougar in her natural habitat, ready to pounce and prey upon any guy under the age of 35.The drinks are solid, they don't accept debit or credit (which in this day and age is crazy) but they do have one of those sketchy on-site ATM machines. Lots of bikers, old dudes in Tommy Bahama shirts and young, wanna-be redneck clampers. Do yourself a favor and head straight for the back (where the stage is located) and enjoy the splendid view of middle age white folks dancing to a C minus version of Hot For Teacher. You go girl, tear up that dance floor just like you did at Senior Prom 1980!"
 Here is another hilarious re view I pulled off of Yelp
"This place could only exist in a place like Modesto.  This is actually one of the places in Modesto that I take people to get a feel for Modesto and that indescribable feeling of being in the presence of human time-bombs .

I feel weird writing a review of Nino's Place because very few of their patrons will ever log into the internet, let alone be able to read this review - but that's okay.  I am not saying Nino's patrons are stupid or ignorant, they have just had other things to do in their life other than learn to read...namely serve 10 to 20, repair HVAC units, or work for the MPD.

I agree with the other reviewer, respect and not being a asshole will get you a drink.  Anything less might get your teeth knocked down your throat.

I highly recommend their raspberry compote cheese cake and any one of their limited edition Belgian beers."

So with that said it looks like we are in for quite a treat tonight! If you do not hear back from Us in 24 hours please send help.

Shalom and  Namaste friends!
