Yesterday afternoon, Susie, Heather, Heather's friend Gary and I piled into the car and headed off for Milwaukee. What, you may ask, drove us to go to Wisconsin, of all places? Simple answer. The Indigo Girls were playing there. We arrived way early, which turned out to be a good thing, because the only (relatively) reasonable restaurant didn't have terribly fast service, although the food was quite good. But the show. Ohmygoodness. I was totally blown away. The opening act was Kim Richey, whom I'd never heard before, but was very good, musically. But then Emily and Amy took the stage, and good became amazing. Soon after the set started and things were getting into full swing, Amy started having problems with her guitar cord, and, because she got preoccupied with the problem, forgot the words the third line into "Reunion", causing great amusement, and the rest of us were told to sing along to help her out as they started again. All went well, except perhaps that a few people a couple of rows ahead of us seemed to a little the better or the worse for the beer, and were thus a trifle on the overenthusiastic side. So all in all, it was an extremely good night.

Tunes: "Every River", Kim Richey; "Least Complicated", Indigo Girls.
