RON SWARNER: LIVE LONG IN PROCTOR! >>>
There was a nervous energy inside O’Malley’s Irish Pub Saturday night. Tacoma punk band Broken Oars secured a corner of the Sixth Avenue joint titling it as their green room. I’m milling about the their green space with the band and their peeps. I can sense something monumental will happen. There’s drinking, and pacing back and forth, and knuckle punches, and everyone seems to be seeing red.
When a drunk dude tells me to “live long in Proctor†flashing Spock's V-sign, that’s my cue to walk down the street for dinner at the Crown Bar.
When I return an hour later, there’s a fistfight going on in the middle of the floor, the long shuffleboard has been conquered by Broken Oars singer Ike, and there’s beer everywhere.
I snapped a few shots at what Ike’s wife, Michelle, has titled the “best Broken Oars show ever.â€
Ike head butted the mirror half-way through the show and didn’t miss a beat.
Surprisingly, no one was 86ed.
One for the books.
O'Malley's still has one more night of its St. Patrick'd Daze â€" tonight â€" when the Dockyard Derby Dames, Billy Farmer and Suzanne & Seamus are in the house.
