Ethnography Results, Week 4

Wesley and I's trip to Revolutions was much better than the previous week. We arrived a little after 9 and left between 1030 and 1045. There were only some band members setting up when we arrived. By the time we left, there were about 10 people altogether, and more arriving. One guy who arrived not long after us overheard us talking about technical stuff and then he came and sat with us to join the conversation. He was very interested in music and how one could use programming to enhance music. He talked to Wesley and I (mostly Wesley) for over an hour. I was happy with the selection of beer that they had. I had two New Castles. 

Other than the guy who was very friendly, the band didn't talk that much to anyone, including amongst themselves. Towards the end of the night, another guy came along and performed a song with one of the band member's banjos. I thought he was pretty good. Two couples arrived before we left. I'm pretty certain one of the employees was dressed as and referred to itself as a she, but was actually a he. Also there was another possible person that fell in this category because "she" was wearing a scarf covering up her neck area and was masculine. Lastly there was definitely a gay man there and he looked at me a few times. I didn't know whether to be flattered or creeped out. 

Finally, I was a little mistaken in my first impression of the interior. I remembered there being a lot more pictures than there actually were. There were still a lot, and several that weren't hanging, but they didn't cover the entire interior as I had previously stated. The bar definitely seems geared to the artsy and musical crowd. It is not a crowd I'm accustomed to, but I still had a very good time.
