Shows at the Rendezvous always start late, so this is the opening band, who just finished their half-hour set at 11:30 pm. That, plus the fact that it's hard to get decent photos with the lighting here, means I'm just going to post the couple decent photos I have rather than wait to get some of the next band.
Post-punk, kind of Gang of Four-esque, not bad.

When you decide to give the acknowledged meat market a try, because you really want to go dancing and you really feel the need for company, and you feel a little foolish as you get ready to go, a bit silly as you walk there, even more foolish and doubtful when you arrive and look over the crowd visible from outside, and then the door person notices your hesitation and, rather than just take your money, immediately starts dissuading you in a friendly fashion from paying and entering, saying up-front that it's a meat market and you'd be better off spending your money elsewhere—
When all that happens, it's best to accept the universe's word with grace and good humor, turn away, and see what's going on elsewhere. Hey look, the band playing in the High Dive right now has a violinist…

You deserved a name, even before the crash, for years of good service, relatively little trouble, and surviving a few other run-ins.
But I never did think of one for you. Maybe it's because unlike my computers, you never gave the impression of thinking and acting on your own.
Maybe it's because our interactions were direct and physical and intimate. You were more of an extension of my body than a computer is. I could park you so well in tight places, or make tight turns, and (almost always) avoid danger and accidents, because I could feel exactly how big you were. I knew your responses almost as well as my own body's.
And when the moment came, you performed as designed, protecting my life at your own expense.
We drove far together, over 140,000 miles in over 13 years, includuing the 3,144-mile road trip across the nation and continent from Boston to Seattle, to the new home and life I love dearly. You weren't my first car, you weren't as sexy and fun to drive as the Nissan Pulsar I had before you, but you were a damn fine and reliable car, and I'm sad to see you go. Thank you.

Yeah, it's like that. Not going to get any better photos.
Also, amazing singer.

I'm reasonably sure that having a high-speed head-on highway collision was not on my list of things to do in October.
I am basically okay. I have a minor fracture in my right knee, and bruises and scrapes, and aches and pains, but I'm alive. More later.
Thanks much for all the well wishes I've already received.
