Last night was a show filled with hippies, freaks, burners, and others that love freak beats. Lorin Bassnectar stopped in Seattle on his west coast tour for his new record release, Underground Communication. It was lots of fun. Here’s a new friend that I made there; she’s a performance artist. Also, a short video of the show.

[Update] I removed the video that I took of the show because its really great but gave away too much of the magic of the tour. I’d rather keep the show’s surprise and power so I might post it later this year after the tour.

I had a wonderful time today. I got together with my friend David’s family and enjoyed the afternoon together laughing, playing with the dog and chowing on some really good food…and pie. Thankfully David and his mother, Chris, can cook well. The rest of us had beer and wine and stayed out of the kitchen.

June, his grandmother, is a gem and I love spending time with her. She’s got a sharp wit and was joking that her son, Skip, hit her on the chin. Nate, David’s brother was also there and I’m so very thankful that all of them welcome me as part of their family in Seattle.
