That was Swell
Went out last night with Trish and Jessie and Jenni to see The Swell Season in concert. Good show all in all. He is a natural performer with wonderful, long, rambling, funny tales before many of the songs. She has a great voice but not yet the stage presence he has (I would guess the difference is the many years of busking under his belt). They could have tightened up the running time, especially since many of their songs are slow, thoughtful pieces. Would have loved to have seen them in a more intimate venue... with more comfortable seats... that weren't packed in cheek to jowl... and better ventilation.... But it really was a fun night and I would highly recommend catching them if you have the chance.

Were they at the Moore, or Paramount? They both suck for ventilation, but I find the Moore more "open".
The Moore. And I had no idea how high the balconies went in the Moore before then. We were pretty high up.
A boy that Madeline has "dated" went to the concert here in Portland. Before the show, he saw the two performers walking the streets and went up and introduced himself.
Halfway through the performance they surprised him and called him onstage and had him sing a song with them. Wish I'd been there to see it.
