Last night I went to a karaoke fundraiser at Theater Schmeater, where I'm on the board. I asked a friend of mine if she wanted to come. She said, "No, I'd rather go to the Rendezvous." That's a local one-time dive bar now gentrified into a hipster hang out.

"What's going on there," I said.

"I don't know."

As one might imagine, the fundraiser was not a great success.
