First up, the Smithereens. I liked them &#8220;back in the day&#8221; and still like them now. They can still rock a show and appear to have the stamina from 20 years ago; although like all of us, have aged in appearance.<\/p>\n<p>We saw them over the weekend at the <a title=\"State Theatre\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thestatetheatre.com\/index.xml\" target=\"_blank\">State Theatre<\/a>, an <a title=\"Music DC\" href=\"http:\/\/phishthoughts.com\/2009\/09\/14\/bass-in-your-face\/\" target=\"_blank\">old movie house<\/a> turned concert venue and not too far from us in Virginia. I had never been there before and really liked their cabaret-style set up. I like the <a title=\"Previous post on the Birchmere\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2008\/07\/neville-brothers-fireworks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Birchmere<\/a> as well, closer to us and a more intimate environment, but this open and spacious layout took the lead. I didn&#8217;t know what to expect, the <a title=\"Previous post on Black Cat\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2011\/03\/hyperbolic-hyperbole-not-to-be-gridironed\/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Cat<\/a> maybe, which I would have liked but would have felt over age. Not quite the cane set (like the <a title=\"Previous post on the Birchmere 2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2011\/03\/mardi-gras-costumes-get-a-copyright\/\" target=\"_blank\">Birchmere<\/a> mostly) but we were within age range, if not underage here. Although, a birthday this week may put me over the quota. :0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/state-theatre-via-mr-miners-phish-thoughts.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5674\" alt=\"state theatre-via mr-miners-phish-thoughts, Art is Everywhere\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/state-theatre-via-mr-miners-phish-thoughts.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/state-theatre-via-mr-miners-phish-thoughts.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/state-theatre-via-mr-miners-phish-thoughts-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We got there early to snag a table and fortunately, were able to do so.

From our viewpoint (table in darkened area on right in back from the stage in this picture &#8212; they have since added balcony seating), we could see the stage pretty well and the pit was designed on a declined slope to not block the vantage of the table onlookers.
