Evens / Ted Leo roll call

[brennser]

yup - it happened - weather turned out perfect in fact -- all we got at Ft Reno was some wind and thunder
 
 The Evens I thought were quite good - Ian dedicated a song to his Mom
 
 Ted Leo was with the Rx and not solo - I thought they were excellent - they seems to be having minor sound problems for the first few songs from their perspective which was weird because I though the sound was amazing for what was essentially a field
 
 nice to bump into kurosawa, redsock and ggw (and winston?) who as far as baby (and daddy) brennser are concerned is the coolest dog in the world!

Hail storm? I went, and it was quite nice, including the weather. The Evens were low-key, as expected, but still good. My very first time seeing Ted Leo. I think I would rather see him in a venue where i could concentrate on him. A lot of his stuff can sound alike live... but at least it sounds good. Nice meeting little Brennser, even if she didn't want to say good-bye to me. Oh, and Wilson the incredibly soft Republican dog as well.

hmmmm - out in Silver Spring we had a good hour of heavy rain, hail and thunder up until about 7:00. I figured if nothing else it was raining downtown.  Damn.

I should add that I left a little after 9 so I don;t know how long he played for

Yeah, it was coming down pretty hard around 6:30 -7pm in Takoma Park, too. I thought the power was going to go out for sure. There were flash flood watches in effect.

I thought the Evens were much better - more consistent - than at the Warehouse show.  I saw some of Ted Leo, who was great.  The sound was really good for a Fort Reno show.
 
 Nice to meet baby Brennser.  The soft Republican had a great time and passed out as soon as he got home.
