Remember that thing last month about pressing one's CD into the hands of a musical idol? Tonight's victim was Adam from Nadine, another band I've been waiting years to see.

Some of you know this: The first time I got up on stage and sang and played the mandolin, it was a song from Downtown, Saturday. And it wasn't because I had wanted to go sing in public and I just needed a song to do it with--the song itself was the motivation to perform. I think it's fair to say there wouldn't be a CD if it weren't for Nadine. So it was nice to be able to express a little gratitude in person.

And also, they were great! I knew they had really good songs and were able to come up with great arrangements in the studio, but I didn't know how tight the band would be, or how fun. So yeah, highly recommended if you find yourself around St. Louis sometime... or in LA on Wednesday,
