Metz was our first date in France. As we drove in, Metz appeared to be an industrial/commercial area. Parking near the club was a bit complicated so we hung out for awhile next to an empty lot while we waited for the assistance of the club owner. In the end we parked on the sidewalk across the street from the club after the club owner promised to cover any parking tickets. The club was small and messy and no shower or flat provided. Our food was a large bowl of roasted red potatoes with a sour cream/garlic sauce to go with it. We demolished it in short order.
The club was in the old part of town but it definitely had the rundown feel after St. Gallen. We wandered around in the immediate vicinity, checking out the old fortification just across the street. We even sold some of our singles down the street at a local record store. We had a few classic French snubs but we took it in stride.

The show itself was ok. We played well and there were enough people there that it felt well attended. After the show we all went out for kebobs at around 1 in the morning. Overall Metz was a little disappointing and we were happy to head for the next gig.
