A while back, we went to dinner at Woodfire Grill, before going to see Sondre Lerche at the Earl. Kathleen had gotten reservations back in December for me for Christmas, and this was the earliest date that was available! Also, this was the show that we both bought each other tickets to for Christmas.

James’ band Venice is Sinking played at Kathleen’s event she organized at the Woodruff Arts Center on Thursday. They were good as usual. My parents came out because they liked them from our wedding so much.

Also, Brent brought an old friend of ours who was a foreign exchange student from Sweden when we were in high school. It was really great to see Johan again. He’s really a very nice guy, and just fun to hang out with.

I got the image from this guy’s site who was at a lot of the shows taking pictures:

Kathleen and I went to see James’ band Venice is Sinking last Friday night. It was a CD release show at Kavarna in Oakhurst. They were great of course.

Today, I found out that Merge Records XX festival tickets went on sale today, and they sold out today… that sucks. I was really wanting to go. I’ve never seen Superchunk in concert, and they don’t tour much at all these days… oh well…

Just launched a new site for Jeff Shinabarger’s Gift Card Giver project:

I’m really late posting this, but we went to see Silver Jews over three weeks ago with Brent, Alexis, Eric, and Kelly.

Monotonix opened for them, which was quite a show…
We were sitting on the right side where they have the plastic chairs set up. They started out on the floor in the front. Then half way through they drug all their equipment over directly in front of us.
