I was over my friends house Albert getting a haircut and he handed me a flier for Dieselboy. I was pretty excited to see that he was playing in Club Diesel, because I like the space. I placed it in my pocket and totally forgot about until I was driving home from Dees on the South Side and spotted the sign. I decided to go in and take a listen even though I never go out anymore. I asked a kid outside how many people were inside and he said “200″. The kid I asked turned out to be Dieselboy himself! I didn’t recognize him since he had a different hairstyle. When I went in I was surprised at how sparse the crowd was and that I didn’t see anyone I knew. If I walked into a club in Pittsburgh 7 years ago I’d know everyone. The DJ and sound system sounded really good and I kind of enjoyed having some space. Not long after I started seeing a bunch of people I knew and liked. I exchanged numbers with some old friends and a couple Greyhounds. Dieselboy started played and I really like the vibe. It ended up being a chill evening and decided I’m very glad I’m not in the club business in dead beat, broke ass, behind the times City of Pittsburgh. Who the hell is going to go out and pay a drink tax here when nobody even goes out now as it is… They should pay us 10% to go out! I did get a few ideas of some cool shit I could do to be involved in the dead DJ scene to possibly revive it and maybe Pittsburgh too…
