unbuckled!
holy moly. last night's unbuckled was more of a success than i had hoped for. i, being guardedly optimistic, thought we might bring out 75-100 people - but we ended up with over 200! mad money was made (most of it going to the deserving bands, and a bit of it covering our flyer and giveaway expenses), and, despite the stifling heat in the backstage, i think everybody had a great time. thank you SO MUCH to everybody who came out - it meant a lot to see you there. and big ups to all the great people i got to meet - wes, michael, amanda, (update; john from prodandponder.com who is a great photographer) lots of cool DCist readers, and anyone else i'm forgetting. both the bands, cartel and bicycle thieves, were lovely and nice and talented and put on amazing shows, so i highly recommend you check out their sites and download some mp3s. it's all about the local music love.
due to the success of the show, i'm in an unreasonably good mood today, so i will forgo my normal bitter recriminations and wish everybody a very happy fourth of july! go america!
UPDATE: forgot to mention that a bunch of photos of the concert are here.

Just dropped off my film, should have a bunch of photos on Flickr on Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
SO sorry to have missed this but went on the emergency DL due to crap reflexes and lousy luck. Really hoping that a date has already been picked out for Unbuckled Deux or whatever, and that you'll be coming back from Chicago for the event ... Congrats on the success of this one.
(I'm also in avoidance mode on the news right now ... hey, what I don't know can't hurt my child or her kids or their kids or their kids, right???)
ack! oh no! what happened?
unbuckled part deux will definitely happen in the future - we'll keep everybody posted.
One of those everyday workplace accidents ... I got nailed in the leg by a foul line drive during a minor league all-star home run derby. I have no idea how I'd apply for workman's comp on this one ... What, that doesn't happen to everyone?
I'm sorry I couldn't make it, but it sounds like it went really well! Congrats.
