The day after Christmas we went to Philadelphia to watch mewithoutYou perform a great set. I've posted a few photos and video clips for your enjoyment.

Brooks and Reed played their first gig after who knows how long! The show was hosted at the Reader's Cafe in Hanover, PA.

On Sunday, October 18th, I went to Tom Brooks' and Jim Reed's underground musical lair to take photos of the duo singing and playing their guitars. Their producer, Jodee, ran the soundboard and graciously didn't object too strenouosly to being photographed (actually she objected a lot, but I am selectively deaf).  I had a lot of fun during the shoot, and I think I got some nice photos.

This past Saturday, Jen, Tom, my Mom, and I drove to Bethlehem, PA to watch the peculiar folk trio Mad Agnes.

Two weeks ago AB and I went to Long's Park in Lancaster for their presentation of Dervish, a Celtic band straight from Ireland.

Typical awesome TMBG show - the band rocked, SW and KW got autographs.

AB, JCT, SB and I went to the Pixies show in Camden NJ on Sunday December 5th. There were two openers, one who I don't know the name of, and Datsun. They were ok, more classic rock style I suppose. After enjoying my $7 beer, the Pixies came on.

The Philadelphia show was at the Theatre of the Living Arts on South Street (I was with AB, and KW).

The opener was Corn Mo, who we skipped, and only saw him play two songs. The show was great, and all the songs went off perfectly, as far as I can tell. TMBG played a new children's song, "Alphabet of Nations" which was really good. Songs from "The Spine" are better live, but that's true for msot bands and albums. The live Thunderbird was everything I'd hoped for...this is one of my favorite TMBG song

Last Friday (July 30, 2004) myself and AB headed up to Pittsburgh for the Rolling Rock Town Fair, an all-day, outdoor concert in Latrobe, PA. AB has a friend with an apartment in Pittsburgh: RB, so we stayed at his place. After we got settled in we went out to a bar, shot some pool, and met the members of Del Cielo, a band out of Washington, D.C.
