Last week we had our first live music event at the Shelter in Exile. The build itself seemed to go over pretty well, but most importantly, Frogg and Jaycatt were awesome. Here are a few pics from that event:

Just yesterday we had our second concert, this time Cylindrian Rutabaga was our performer. Again, an excellent concert. More pics:

(Vanity side-note: Frogg showed up and said I was his kind of people after I made a particularly geeky comment. Yay!)

Next Wednesday we have Mel Cheeky lined up. Woohoo!

Now I'll take a moment to say my thanks. Thanks to all the Shelter folks for making this such a success! There are a few in particular who I'd like to say thanks to, though. First of all, Coal Nelson for not only donating the land, but living through the hell that is setting up repeaters so everyone could hear everyone. It's probably the most overlooked aspect of the build and the most complex. Thanks, Coal.

Thanks, too, to Dolmere Talamasca for spearheading this and lining up the acts. Bringing live music to new folks, and keeping the venues free.

Thanks also to Sumar Morgan and Reina Quine for adding the finishing touches, such as providing a means to dance while you're there. It's the details that matter, and so do they.

And thanks again to everyone that's come out and enjoyed the fun. It wouldn't mean anything if there wasn't anybody enjoying it.
