College Park MD – Page 16

A well-packed house. I'm Loving the PLOJes at College Perk. It really is a perfect space - I mean, I guess it could be a little bit larger, but the place has exactly the right spirit. The woman sitting on the couch in the background, talking on her cellphone - we ran across her again just last night at the New Deal Cafe for a SAW event - and I think she was someone who just sort of showed up at Perk and stumbled into the whole thing by mistake. There were a couple of people who hadn't known anything was going on that night - much less anything the scale of PLOJ - they wandered the night, looking bewildered and slightly stunned. Like they'd been hit by a large, musical trout - something the PLOJ is frequently compared to. Also in the background: on the far left, mostly in shadow, you can see Charles, Chelsea's Dad (who came up with his exquisite acoustic Takoma bass) and you have the curly-headed blonde host from the BSA Open Mic at Kiss Cafe (I can't remember her name off the top of my head), as well as Tim from Might Could. College Park is such a central location, we really get all the people that I'd always wanted to get out to Manassas, or Edgewater. It really is the perfect spot.

All sorts of homecomings. Home comings to my parents’ house (is it strange that I find all of the familiar mugs on the shelves so comforting), home coming to College

Last night was another of our disappointment moments. The Desert Rain, or wherever we were going last night… two addresses, one from openmikes.com and one from their website. Relatively close
