Pickathon Plus

I saw Jackstraw (with a slightly altered line-up) and an extra special house concert by the Black Lilies (that I had to crash).

It was quite a magical show in a barn-like garage under a waxing moon which more than made up for the fact that they set opening for Mavis Staples was cut short. The girl organizing the show has known the singer Tricia since they were 15. She hopes to organize more shows in the future. I recognized a guy but we didn't know from where (I think a square dance) who was kind enough to take me on a couple of turns around the dance floor. Even though I usually dance alone, and I mess up the steps, it is most exhilarating to be swung around by a partner.
