yeah, it's nice to see nick schillace playing on the black cat stage. i've booked him three times -- twice at my house and once at the velvet lounge -- and he has played for a total of maybe 30 people in dc. nick is an absolutely monster fingerpicker, a real fahey scholar, with an incredible sense of melody and style. i'll be at the show to catch his set, though i'm worried people will be obnoxious and chat like they did through jack rose's set when he opened for mogwai at the 9:30.
