It’s been great hanging out at home with the dude, but after a month, it’s easy to get twitchy for a dive bar and a good band. Luckily, our friends Geoff and Joy were kind enough to agree to watch Mathias for a couple hours so we could see our friends the Art Holes play at Phyllis’ Musical Inn.
As soon as our babysitters walked though the door, we buried them in a gravel pit of pointers and contingency plans. Luckily, they hung in there despite our rambling, and Mathias ended up sleeping the whole time anyway!
The band we saw, the Art Holes, is made up of a bunch of friends James made in the proto punk ensemble at the Old Town School of Folk Music. They play a lot of fun punk/proto punk covers, and they even knocked out their first original song at this Phyllis’ show.
We got to see lots of great friends and enjoy some adult beverages. Mathias was still snoozing when we got home.
