Jun. 13th, 2004 08:34 amThis has been a great weekend so far. Friday night Sister Hazel at Avalon, and I will spare you my avalanche of fan grrrrl raving about this beautiful under-the-radar band. This was the first time I've seen them in an indoor venue, and while they're definitely an outdoor dance-barefoot kind of act, I got the best view and listening location I've ever had for them.
Yesterday started with a collosal brunch at Johnny D's with a new friend and an old one, and ended at The Lizard Lounge with a group of buddies where we commandeered three tables in the back. We had initially gone to see the band PorterDavis, but I found out there had been a scheduling mistake and they were not indeed playing. Luckily we were in the mood to stay anyway and try pot luck, because the 2nd act, The Chris Canty Band, were absolutely incredible. They're like a folk-y U2. The last time I saw something this good in a venue this tiny, it was a teenage Ani Difranco in 1992.
After their set I was outside smoking when the lead singer came out to do the same, and I was too shy to talk to him. I hate when I do that. (for the record, I was too shy to talk to Ani, too.)
This afternoon will either be dim sum in Chinatown or painting in T@F's church; not certain which will happen yet. Then a T@F meeting this evening.
I like this.
