The David Byrne show was fantastic. Loads of fun. Thanks to the greatness of Christa we were right up at the front, maybe 15 feet away from Byrne. He played a great mix of old stuff, new stuff and even songs he likes by other artists (like Ceseria Evora, yay!). He was accompanied by the Tosca Strings, who show up in Waking Life, and we recognized one of the musicians from her animated self. Cameras were strictly forbidden but I got a few shots with my camera phone. I wore tights (pair #10) for the first time this season! It truly is fall. Probably the highlight of the evening was "Don't Fence Me In" from Red Hot and Blue. Byrne has a crazy cool dancing style, including walking backwards around the stage during non-vocal interludes. Would write more but tired now.

i love david. we decided not to go to this show since we spent all our money this summer going to see him and poi dog pondering in chicago. great pictures!
i didn't realize it was tosca strings in waking life- i'll have to watch it again. coincidence(?): pdp is featured in the movie slacker, also made by the waking life people.
