Not a ton of shows from last week to now, so I'll just beef up the photo quota.
The KMRIA / Minus 5 show was off the charts. I'm not a big Pogues fan, and I'm also not a big Celtic-flautist lovin' St. Patrick's day enthusiast type, but dammit -- these guys were good. The opening set from Minus 5 (who I could see once a week and not get tired of) totally knocked me sideways, and I managed to pull off some rad shots.
[Mental note: Tractor, stage right.]
I went to Bop Street Records after the show, and just about had a heart attack. They seriously have every record ever made, ever, in triplicate. And then more records. And then more records. I know it's totes not PC of me, but this place was absolutely retarded. And amazing. And then more records.
And then more records.
The one-a-days are really more like one-a-every-other-days, but it's all good. Like many things say, I will be patient with intermittent progress. It's yielding some rad results.
Up & coming...
Mark Siano's latest cabaret on Friday, and I get my practice on at KEXP on Saturday.
Spring is Springing, the Croc is re-opening, there's imaginary craft-fests and volunteer shifts and a handful of guest list spots I'm keeping my fingers crossed on.
Kiss kiss, bang bang & I'll see you back here next week.
