Sarah Wrocks!

Yesterday was Sarah's birthday. We celebrated here at home by opening gifts in the late afternoon. Earlier in the day Sarah was feted with cake at Science Club.



Then in the evening Sarah and I went to see a wizard rock performer by the name of the Remus Lupins. His real name is Alex Carpenter and he was kind enough to bring Sarah up on stage to sing Happy Birthday. It was a smaller crowd than usual.

Traditionally the Wizard Rock (Wrock) acts have played in libraries and book stores. But because most of those locations need a long lead time for bookings, it is impossible to play in those spaces when the acts are passing through trying to put together a tour on short notice. As a result, last night's concert was in an art gallery/loft. It is a pretty nice space that looks like it was restored from an old firehouse or other wagon based business. (See the photo of the front doors.)

The challenge is the fact that it is located in a marginal neighborhood. But tough neighborhoods usually mean low rental rates and interesting restaurants. This is no exception as one of the finest Vietnamese restaurants in town is located down the street.
