Many thanks for all the lovely fetal well wishes! Especially nice in a week when your biggest jeans no longer button.
In an effort to max ourselves out on the Night Life before we are stuck home with a ten pound parasite, Dave and I have made a bunch of plans to go out on school nights. This is not like us. I'm usually in yoga pants and a hoodie by 8 p.m. Last night we went to see Dar Williams at the El Rey. I love Dar Williams, have seen her perfom in 4 different states, I love her so much.
At last night's show, I found myself standing in a pod of assorted women who also love Dar, and who also know all the words to her songs. These women didn't seem to know each other, but shared the commonality that they'd all had quite a bit to drink during the opening act, leaving them just unihibited enough that they had no compunction about singing along lustily to every song. They actually had really pretty voices, and Dar's songs aren't that hard to sing. Kind of like Madonna or Britney. Anyway, the chorus around me provided me with all the justification I needed to sing along myself. It was super fun, and I think Dar felt the love.
Hope all y'all spend your weekends in full voice!
