2005-11-10 Nathaniel Mayer

Recording #121

Nathaniel Mayer opened for most of the fall east coast tour for the Black Keys.  The Black Keys played the night before at Irving Plaza with the Mighty Imperials opening.

I got to the Warsaw with plenty of time before the show.  They had a kitchen serving traditional polish food, and I bought a plate.  There were several picnic tables available, and I saw Nate sitting alone and asked him if I could join him for dinner.  He welcomed me and we talked.  Dan came along shortly after that and joined us as well.

Later, I was walking around the room and recognized Matthew Johnson from Fat Possum Records.  I introduced myself and told him how much I appreciated his work.  We'd spoken several times on the phone as I purchased records, but I'm guessing this evening he was quite high and our conversation was very brief.  The Black Keys were shopping record labels and Matthew was making his bid, but the deep pockets at Warner Brothers (Nonesuch) took control.
