I bought a plane ticket to Minneapolis yesterday, and booked a hotel room, and emailed some Carls to tell them I was coming and could we eat Thai food. Thanks to the generosity, kindness, and big hearts of friends, family, strangers, blog readers, Grant Hart fans, Minnesotans — I will be spending three days in…

photo preview: the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle
I’ll have photos up tomorrow and a full write-up on SIC on Monday, but this photo really says it all: my heart is aching and singing in a way that transcends words, and if you have never loved a band that much, so much that it makes you ache with longing and want and joy…

an appreciation note to rusty sutton
Some time in the last month-ish, Rusty Sutton, excellent bassist, road manager for Lost In The Trees, and sound dude par excellence, installed a single white light in the front-of-stage lights at Local 506. The 506, if you can’t tell, is my favorite venue in the Triangle; I’m a regular, Glenn books impeccably, it’s walking…
girl in a coma @ local 506
I know there are a ton of bands I say this about, but Girl in a Coma really are one of my favorites to shoot — such dynamic women, such clear love for what they’re doing on stage, and such great music. I can’t go wrong shooting them, and I can’t go wrong still being…
