Thanks for stopping by John, of uncertain lineage, hahaha, but I guess you're a fellow Chicagoan, xoxox It was a super place to see them perform, wasn’t it?! :) I’m glad you agree, we had a blast!

I agree it was a perfect pairing (which makes sense, Vanderslice did produce the Goats' hi-fi 4AD albums) and the Portage was just a fun place to see a show. I'm still waiting on that mailing list that he promised me, although I'd just settle for a Billy Bragg cover that he talked about last time he was here in October. Thanks for the nice pics and mp3.

I usually raid flickr for good ones, there's plenty there under creative commons use rights, thankfully. This was my first time seeing either of these musicians and it was a treat :) I think vanderslice's album is gonna be great, his stage presence was wonderful, ... warm and really genuine. And Darnielle was really such a fun act, totally in his head and geeking out on stage, a real laugh! Thanks for stopping by, xoxo! Nope, not my pics!
