SappyFest 2009
Last summer, at George’s, a supergroup of the Constantines, Ladyhawk, and $100 were playing Neil Young covers. Two girls and a dude wander in, not realizing what was going on. The band starts playing ‘Cortez The Killer’ and one of the girls says to her pal, “This is a Dave Matthews song called Across The Water”.

Wavelength 500 @ the Garrison, February 14
(pointing to an older, nerdily-dressed guy at the end of the bar looking around)
Guy 1 : Look at that guy… he’s all alone, no friends, it looks like he wants to talk to somebody… y’know I feel like buying him a drink or something.
Guy 2: Ya, that’s kind of sad… he should at least chat somebody up.
The guy at the bar turned out to be Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) who headlined the show.
