Bummer that Ween is tonight as well. I'd like to see the Kimya Dawson show.
I rode the bus by Crooked Beat a little while ago. Line was down the block.
Yeah, I hope that the 10 people who actually fit in the store enjoyed the show!
Kimya saw the line & how small the venue was & decided to play outside on someone's doorstep with the crowd surrounding her on the sidewalk in Adams Morgan! It was so awesome of her. I was one of the many freezing my butt off on the sidewalk waiting to get in.
I give props to Kimya who treated her fans so well. She played a number of songs despite the freezing temperature & was totally lovely. I'm now a bigger fan.
The music for the soundtrack was the worst part of Juno. It sucked, to be frank.
