I'm sure I'd been there before, primarily from following Arzu there for Christmas Staraoke. I didn't join Foursquare until 2009, and the first Foursquare check-in to the Triple Rock Social Club I have logged was from July 15, 2011, when Kim and I teamed up with Ellie, Arzu and Dave for a trivia contest. (We didn't win because we shouted down one of Dave's correct answers.)

My next three check-ins were for the short-lived run of Sunday night Staraoke in the old bar.

My fifth check-in was for Nightosaur's second album "Spaceaxers" release - we played Blingo in the old bar, missing Red Desert and STNNNG but catching Gospel Gossip and (of course) Nightosaur. I posted my band pics to Twitpic back then.

I'm not sure if I really stopped going out until my separation but the next check-in I found was the night Kim broke up with me, by total coincidence. It couldn't have been more timely, a lifesaving NOTHER Nightosaur show, this time a free gig brought to us by Newcastle and featuring METZ.

Now I can use my archived lifestream to rattle off the shows (although I'm sure I'm missing a few):

The Triple Rock was 1.9 to 2.1 miles from my house, depending on which way I walked and how many Pokemon I chased. When I needed an excuse to get some exercise, usually there was a show, more often than not featuring bands with friends in them, or bands featuring crushes I had/have. And I could usually score a chair so that I'd be well rested for the walk/stagger home.

It's sad that this place is going just when I felt I was getting used to it.

21.11.17 01:16 MOUSE UPDATE: Mouse #3, the stupid smart mouse, brazenly knocked my ice pick off the kitchen counter while I was out, just to let me know it was still around, even if it wasn't leaving all kinds of tiny poops behind any more. Although it is smart and changing up tactics, I have settled on a course of stubbornly redefining insanity by applying fresh peanut butter to the usual trap and hoping that that finally reels one in tonight. Also, I plan to be out cold on Alka Seltzer Plus Night Cold Formula so I'll have no idea if it works until I am ready to go to work. STAY TUNED TO THIS [SOCIAL] NETWORK FOR FURTHER UPDATES
