The Visa Diaries

I went to go hear some live music the other night. Tuesday night to be exact. The only reason I went was because Arvind was in town – otherwise I would have felt far too busy and/ or tired to go out and hear music on a Tuesday. Lame! I am so lame. It is amazing how small we can let our world become through routine and laziness, and how refreshing and invigorating it is to break out of that.

Cafe 9 is a small bar & live music venue, literally less than a 10 minute walk from my house. It is the type of place where the musicians are sitting in the audience until just before their set, and where the locals who to the singers in between songs. Tuesday as a girl-with-guitar night, three of them, really great singers and songwriters each. The show was free (!), so I bought CDs form each of them to help subsidize their gas.

Rebecca Pronsky, Jennifer Greer, and Lys Guillorn took me a land of lullaby and bittersweet harmony. I swear, I swear I will be going back to Cafe 9 soon.
