Everyone in San Diego gets pumped about Street Scene every
year.  Tons of great bands, tons of
the good kind of chaos that only festivals can offer, tons of hipstered-out
peeps, and tons of amazing people watching, as we all learned here at
Pony.  Luckily, we were literally
one block away from all the excitement so a grip of people on their way to the
big event were drawn to our graffitied walls saying “Hell yeah, Pony. I
remember those shoes.”  In the mix
of all the random visitors, we got a surprise visit from TV on the Radio – the
hip band that won’t admit they are hip, which in turn makes them even
hipper.  All of us were geeking out
because we were just listening to them in our “bat cave” right before they came
in – thank god their songs weren’t playing when they walked in – I would have
felt like an ultra nerd. 

They were so nice and really appreciative…and some even put the shoes right
on.  They got an array of our shoes from our ultra-light 5 Oz.’s to some ever popular Feed the Cats.  Then we got the treat of
watching them on stage a few hours later, along with the other 15,000 people
that truly made it a Pony sight to be “scene”.
