"Okay, so it's not what I thought it was."
Greensboro, NC - October 2009 (Click to embiggen)
Like a lot of people, I was confused by the sign outside the door. Like a lot of people, I read it as "The Gathering on Tate Street", which has vaguely occultish undertones. Or possibly other, less sinister (but more embarrassment inducing) undertones. Not so subtly subtitled "The G-Spot" (which leads the unfamiliar visitor down the completely wrong path), The Gathering is apparently another too-loud live music venue geared toward the college crowd (which is convenient since it's practically on the campus of the UNC-G School of Music). I found very little in the way of information about it on the web initially (until I got the name right), which surprised me, and my son (a senior at UNC-G) knew less about it than that. Which surprised me (a little) less actually, since his studies have steered him more in the direciton of classical and jazz. The one semi-opinion I did find was at a blog called A Museing (which is amusing, even if misspelled and here's your Technorati tag... you can thank me later) penned by a blogger named ChicKiddo. She calls it "...a rather trashy and hedonistic college experience. I'm not entirely sure I'm interested in finding out just what that means." Hmm... I think I'm with ya on this one Chic (although until you got to the "college" part I was doing fine. 'Tis a young man's world I tell ya.) Come to think of it, if her assessment is correct perhaps the "g-spot" moniker isn't so far off the mark after all. Maybe the guys from Greensboro Daily Photo will weigh in on this one.
