OK, the Yahoo groups thing is pretty much up and running. It's called groupiegirldc, big surprise. I am hoping for big things for it, though I know statistics about the internet point against such things. The sharing a calender and the ability to use it to find links to shows, venues, tickets, bands, seems like it will helpful to a lot of my friends-did you just read that there's a whole page to collect links on-watch out. Or here's another for instance, a friend told me last weekend that she had a Loretta Lynn ticket that went to waste. Next time, she can stick in on the yahoo groups/groupiegirldc-that sweetie of a ticket would not have gone to waste. Consider becoming a part of the yahoo group-I am very receptive to suggestions to help make sure more people go to see live and local music.

Once again, I am sorry about the delay in posting my take on the shows I've been to, and I owe a super-sincere apology to Last Train Home. I got caught up in the Nashvillyness of the night: the lights, the elevated stage, 3 bands, black rhinestones. That moment at 'The State' has passed and I can't write about, sorry. So much fluff and not enough talk about music-the best I can say right now is that I would still love Last Train Home if they played naked in a crack house, what better endorsment could you have? There is a great Last Train Home show coming up this Saturday at the Barns of Wolftrap. Their first outing there and it is sold out. If you missed out, I will try to give out the scoop on what you missed. If you've never heard them stay tuned and tell you why I like their music.
