As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I spent yesterday in an all-day meeting of the consortium of libraries of which my workplace is a member. It was the annual where-are-we, where-are-we-going meeting and it was fascinating. FASCINATING. Gloryhound at Tribeca last night had a lot to live up to, let me tell you!
Why yes, I am acquainted with that play in which the lady doth protest too much, why do you ask?
There was a pretty good crowd out last night including quite a few dancers, which always livens things up. Patrick has invented a new drink, and both Ryan and Dave were wearing ties. I don't think there was an occasion or anything, but they did look pretty spiffy.
Also spiffy was the black acoustic guitar Dave played in the first set. (Both he and Evan went acoustic in that set but I don't think I'd seen the particular guitar Dave was playing before.) After the first set the band went back to its electric ways for the next three sets.
Yeah, there were four sets last night. The third one was very short. I have no idea what was up with that. Evan sang pretty much the first half of the night and Adam the second half, and although I couldn't see the stage a lot of the time (as I say--dancers!) it seems to me that Evan played keys a lot in the second half. No idea whether that organization meant anything, but tweaks large and small tend to keep things interesting. I may have said that before.
