Weekend Wind-Down #42

POWER 2090

Saturday night was a busy one...Missy had her second of three back-to-back performances at CANOPY (which I'll probably blog about tomorrow night) and then immediately afterwards we rushed to the 40 WATT to catch ELF POWER and VIC CHESNUTT's homecoming show. Elf Power played an energetic set and then returned as Vic's backing band. Needless to say, the show was awesome and if they happen to be touring anywhere near you in the next couple of months, you owe it to yourself to go...

Thanks! I tried adding a bit of video to the post last night via Flickr but to no avail...I'm going to try to post video thru Vimeo instead and see if that works. Hopefully you'll check back!
