    2025 Magdalena Bay Show

    By Andrea Menzies

    One of my favorite friends Eugene who is Zorak303 on Instagram visited from out of town this weekend. We went to see Magdalena Bay at the National, and lines were wrapped around the block. Then we went to the famous taco restaurant Gwar Bar nearby, and talked about New Orleans in modern day. Eugene and I hung out after a Gwar show at House of Blues when I lived in New Orleans so history came full circle at that moment. I was really stressed out about going back to get a Master’s degree at night school, and so I was really happy to have a friend visit cheer me up. Here are some highlights from the show. My review is the band is great!

    *Note I never go out in Richmond anymore because of the many non-stop horrible experiences I have had there and exclusively go out in Maryland. For Eugene I made the very rare exception.

    Outside the National Eugene and Andrea.
    Huge lines at the National.
    Logo at the National.
    Bathrooms at the National.
    Amazing light show.
    More amazing show at the National.
    Even more lights at the show.
    What happened to make them put this sign up?
    The National looks great from outside, but like all Richmond it has horrible problems underneath the surface. What is up with the nightmare toilet?
    Fancy show walls.
    End of show super costumes.
    The crowd goes wild at the show end.
    The crowd goes even more wild for a David Bowie cover song.
    Gwar Bar has tacos and nachos that are amazing. In addition the band Gwar put funny costumes all over the walls from their music tours. Eugene and I hung out after a Gwar show when I lived in New Orleans.
