my most favoritest band in the world

let's face it - the decemberists can do no wrong in my book. last night, they sounded great, played old tunes and new, and were absolutely hilarious on stage exchanging instruments amongst themselves and even handing over guitars to two lucky audience members who had the opportunity to jam out to "chimbley sweep."

last night, we revived a tradition - we had one very sweet and genuine decemberist over to our house for dinner beforehand. yes, nate, decemberists bassist extraordinaire, came to our home, and the three of us chatted over a home-cooked meal and a couple of pre-show cocktails. it was nice. he was nice. the evening was fantastic.

here he is with dab backstage after the show.


that's me with chris and nate.
