Hold Steady at Salt Shed

 Our first time at the Salt Shed, and the start of Amy's love affair with both it and the Mountain Goats.

Ize's Saturday Morning Funtime Band at Chez Ize

They played a bunch of tv theme songs from their youths. So, my well-into-adulthood.

Nonagon, Knife the Symphony at Burlington

Plus: didn't have to drive all the way to Detroit to see these two bands together Minus: no vegan hot dogs Hung out after the show with both bands at Johno's and didn't get home till nearly 4am. This seems to be a pattern...

Archers of Loaf, Weird Nightmare at Bottom Lounge

Totally forgot I bought tickets to this show. Luckily Johno happened to ask if I was going, so I did. We drove down together and promptly ran into Dixie and DJ. Jay showed up a bit later (it wasn't a surprise he was there - Johno was his +1). It was good to talk to those folks, but it was really good to catch up with Johno. 

Weird Nightmare was more fun than I was expecting - I added their record to my bandcamp wishlist. Archers were great - I bought all 4 of the records they were selling.

Johno and I ended up hanging at his house till like 4am. I miss that.

And Matt, the bass player, was wearing a Nonagon tshirt!
