First trip in the Volt with Sustainability Man - it is a pretty cool car.

"Sorry officer, I crashed because I am mesmerized by the battery display - is it sucking power or recharging? It changes every second!"

Off to see the Winterpills for the first time. (Hey, even I can't know everybody!) From Northampton. Another great band I'm glad I saw.

Luray was the opening band. From Virginia. The drummer at one point played the coolest little instrument - a thumb piano (an instrument from Zimbabwe called a mbira)- it was played inside kind of a bowl thing (a resonator) that from where I was sitting looked like it was decorated with beer caps. It was such a cool different sound. Loved it.
