Yesterday

So yesterday I went out to Western Mass with [livejournal.com profile] ivyvigne and [livejournal.com profile] mytheria to hear [livejournal.com profile] somechicksings at a free concert cum potluck picnic at the Traprock Peace Center and to pick up some of [livejournal.com profile] ivyvigne’s stuff from [livejournal.com profile] somechicksings’ attic. It was lots of fun! There was a sense of preaching to the converted and insularity to the conversation at the Peace Center (and I was wondering whether fundamentalist pro-war conservatives have similar gatherings and if so what it would be like to be at one of them), but many of the people were really nice, and most importantly, [livejournal.com profile] somechicksings totally, totally rocked! She reminds me a bit of Fred Small and a bit of Ani DiFranco. She has Ani’s rhythm. I especially loved the poem “Wake-up Call” (available here on her old site), with the lines “never want to write a book that hitler wouldn’t burn / never want to have a marriage that phelps wouldn’t picket”. Her new site is at http://www.arjunagreist.com/, and you must immediately buy her CD, even though it won’t be quite the same as hearing her in person. Anyway, meeting [livejournal.com profile] somechicksings and lots of [livejournal.com profile] ivyvigne’s other friends from Western Mass was awesome.

[EDIT: This entry has links to pictures, an MP3, and a video clip from the picnic and performance.]

Afterwards we hung out for a while in her new apartment being sleepy, and [livejournal.com profile] ash130 and Z. arrived just as [livejournal.com profile] ivyvigne was getting ready to paint my toenails. So now I have gold toenails. Yay, happy toenails!

Ash= Ash130, I've added you to my friends list. Z does not have a journal. Infact, how long did it take her to reply to your email? LOL!
