I had a dream last night that I went to a venue with my wife to see Stephen O'Mally play a KTL set. I remember entering the venue and it was large, it looked like it used to be an old movie theater, with the rows of fold up seating and red chairs and isles.
Stephen was up on stage playing his Travis Bean, and I remember some roadies coming from the back of the theater to the front with these really really large almost upright bass looking things, that had fretboards made out of aluminum, but then had jewels or metal buttons raised up randomly all over the fretboard too. They propped a whole line of them up, like at least 3 of them, if not 4. They were all like a futuristic pearlescent white color, and like I said, they were tall, like 6-7 feet tall. I leaned over to someone other than my wife and heard them say they were a new model of aluminum bass.
For whatever reason after hanging out and watching the set for a few minutes, I walked out of the venue area which was at the front near the stage, and it exited into what looked almost like a movie theater exit line, with the rope partitions to guide where to go and all. After walking along the partitions, it seemed more and more apparent that the venue WAS an old mall. The ropes lead you past different stores to pick up goth clothing, and I think there might have been a few more weird stores, that just seemed weird and out of place. But I remember there was no way to get back into the area where they were playing, like there were either too many people in the way, or the ropes didn't lead you back to where KTL was playing. And I remember being REALLY pissed that I had finally gotten to see them play but that it was cut short because I'd left the stage area, and was kicking myself for missing out on the rest of the set
