Fri 17 Feb – A Silver Mt. Zion, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Poverty Hymns
I've been waiting over five years for this one, kids, thus there was a lot of anticipation in the months between the show announcement and last night.

Thankfully, that can never really be perfect.
I went to the show with a coworker, who, as of this writing, I'm pretty sure bailed on me. We arrived nice and early to find that the venue doors were already open, apparently unintentionally, but it gave us a chance to come in from the windy chill. Thierry was already manning the merch table, so I took the chance to chat with him a bit and pick up the two albums I didn't have. I wanted to get the single, but, without a turntable, I couldn't justify it to myself. Efrim, Jessica, Sophie and Dave were also milling around the venue for setup and probably soundcheck. …
