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...

Annie made me talk to a whole bunch of people.  I have since forgotten all of them.  So there.

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.
