Don't have the time today to write up a long boring review, but here's my ratings of the shows on the Rhettdork (0-10) scale.
Note: Flogging Molly/ Ted Leo double bill was impossible to get into, so we had to replace it with Okkervill River and Keren Ann
Devotchka (in Vancouver) 9.0 Somebody please book this band for DC. Their show is simply sublime.
