It kind of bums me out that the Grog has been around as long as it has.
Not because they are a bad place to see a show, nor due to the fact that they consistently book some of the best local and national music around.
It's not that I have a ton of great memories of seeing (or performing with) my favorite bands in both the old and new spaces.
It's not that the Grog has provided opportunities to see acts that in other cities play in much larger venues.
Nope, what bums me out about the Grog's longevity is that I remember when they opened,and have been going to shows there for so long, that it provides a very clear and quantifiable measure of how old I am getting.
Seriously, there aren't many better places to see a rock show. If a band you like is playing at the Grog, make it a point to go, or just go ahead and kick yourself preemptively before all your friends tell you how awesome it was.
