I rarely connect with the local music scene—in fact, my last attempt was the Dorktown anniversary party at Starline, and I stood out like a sore thumb in that crowd. That said, a friend of mine is a member of The Overdubs (who played on that ticket, but not until after my bedtime), and called me this morning to invite me to an afternoon show at Yoshi's.

Since Kim was out helping a friend find a bridal gown, I figured I'd check it out. Fortunately, they set up inside; the breeze from the fans was definitely cooler than the parking lot. A few delays, and the band started at 3:30.

The crowd was pretty thin (in fact, most of those there were connected to the same band member I was), but the band sounded good, and it was easy to see they were having fun. Good, family-friendly fun; three children of band members were present. I know that Yoshi's holds regular events like this, I just didn't think I was cool enough to partake.

Great band. Great store. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
