Nonagon at Cafe Mustache

I caught a ride with Annie.  Felt weird not to bike, but i had a migraine all day, so...

Grumpy let me know the donuts were vegan.  I got the last one.  It was good.  Apparently the vegan chili is great too - i'll have to try that next time.

I hadn't heard Sewing Needle before, and i liked them.  The Rutabega were good as always (but i just don't seem to like them as bunch as everyone else - i prefer their poppier, happier numbers, which seem few and far between).  To be honest, i spent most of their set catching up with Yogi via text.  I just don't see him much now that we don't work together any longer.

Nonagon killed it.  I guess they messed up both new songs, but i thought they sounded great anyway.  I felt much better after the show than before - maybe Nonagon is a migraine cure...

Nonagon, Cell Phones at Brinkman Haus

Tiny's 50th birthday celebration.  Did another band play that we listened to from the yard?  I think so - I seem to recall the singer sounded like Johno, but wasn't.

PRF BBQ at Township

I had a lot of fun at this show.  A lot of times these shows turn into a slog to get to the music i like.  That was most definitely not the case here.  Was it the company?  Dunno.  Was it the awesome bands (none of whom i really knew beforehand)?  Dunno.  Was it the vegan smoked seitan sammiches?  Dunno.  Maybe i was just in a festive mood for a change.

I stopped at Jeri's Grill on the way home with Annie, Ize and Tiny.  For those of you scoring at home: yes, that was two nights in a row.  We had the same kind waitress, but there was clearly a different cook working the grill.  The hash-browns with giardineira were good, but not as good.

Either at the show or when i got home, i bought a bunch of musical highlights:  Burned or Buried, Motherfucker, OUT and the entire Cell Phones discography (which came on a thumb drive that looks like a hotel key - i got #10 because #13 was taken).
