IBW 4/10 Anniversary

I was sick, but biked over anyway. Heard the last half of the last song of the opener's set, Nonagon and then the first half of the first song of the closer's set. Somewhere in there I managed to take this picture of various Brinkmen(n) in attendance:

Bruno and I did not get matching tattoos, despite knowing how much that would cheese Ize off...

Cell Phones at Quenchers

Before the show, Amy and I went to the Northside Gala and mostly hung out with Patreeecia, her husband Jon and her friend Sandra. This is notable for two reasons: (1) Jo started dating Sandra's daughter Olivia the following week and, as of this writing (Dec 2017), still is; and (2) I was wearing a suit and (bow)tie.

Amy dropped me at the show, to mooch a ride home with Annie.  I think I missed most of the first band. Annie introduced me to the singer of the Cell Phones (whose name I should remember, but of course do not). She said she liked the suit, and that's how she'd want to dress if she were a man. I should have replied "me too," but, alas, I did not.  Another missed opportunity.

We skipped out early on the last band too. I think they played music about Watership Down, but maybe that was some other night.
