Strange. Really strange. Maybe going here on Halloween was a mistake... I was the only guy there not dressed as a geisha. Again, strange. Punk rock band from Canada dancing and performing on stage. OK. Brought their parents to see them. Strange. Some guy is filming it. OK. On his phone. Strange. Bartender has an awkward expression, sort of like one might have if one's clergyman gave him a sex toy for his birthday. A few local customers are crushed up against the wall as if someone on stage was releasing cooties into the air. All of it just so strange.
So what do you do? I say sit your butt down, buy the nice guy in a japanese dress a drink and enjoy the show! Pretty soon you're doing shots, dancing like an idiot and stumbling out into the street hoping you didn't give anyone your real phone number!
The Thirsty Parrot is the strangest place I've been in several years. I had a decent time there. The bartender was solid and the beer was cold. I might go back someday, just not on Halloween!
