So the Ottobar in Balitmore isn't a big place, bigger than Fletchers was but smaller than the Recher in Towson but it's a great place to see a band up close and personal. It was definitely the place to be on March 6th as Saosin finished out their headlining tour here with Maylene & the Sons of Disaster in tow (also Before Their Eyes and Storm the Beaches).
Strange seeing Saosin here in a smaller venue after headlining the Pac Sun tour the end of last year but there is just something about smaller shows that brings out things that you won't see at a bigger show. Must say this was a strange show, not only did we have the stage divers but we had young men that came up on stage and acted hmm like goofs. The band even commented on this although they did invite them back up on stage.
Now the Ottobar, while they don't have a barricade, they are very strict in their policy of NO STAGE DIVING. They even have signs posted on the monitors on the stage. Well obviously some of the fans this night had a bit of trouble in reading and were escorted out the door soon after. Bassist Chris Sorenson reminded the crowd about this rule of the club but that really didn't faze them.
Oh and regarding the alcohol - new drink.. Sweet tea vodka, peach schnapps, sour mix and sprite!
