coincidence?

I kept seeing the date in different places, and now I think I've got it all figured out:  Lots of musicians I've played with have shows this Saturday.  As far as I know, this is interesting only to me, which is why I decided to post it to LiveJournal.

• DeatHat is playing at the House of Shields in San Francisco.  For this show we'll be your typical power trio: bass, xylophone, and guzheng.  The guzheng, and miscellaneous percussion, will be played by our friend Jason (not pictured).
  
• At Barefoot, our friend Zach will be playing with his new trio Kids with Beards.  Zach is a member of Corpus Callosum, and for a while I was sort of in the band, but due to scheduling conflicts and such I think we only played one show together.  Still, it counts!  Unless I'm wrong and that show never actually happened.
• Finally, Vermillion Lies, whose accordionist I have sometimes been, is playing at... CAESAR'S PALACE.  For the Russian New Year.

Sadly, you're not invited to the Vegas show--it's a private event.  But if you're in the Bay Area, come to the House of Shields!  Or, if you like free shows, go to Barefoot Coffee and see Zach.

I've totally gone dancing at the House of Shields!! I think.

Really? It's a long, narrow bar downstairs, and then a live music area up in a cozy balcony that echoes out over the first floor. I can't really picture the dance scene.

Yep, that's it! It was some sort of 60s/psych night and all the dancing took place upstairs. There were only maybe a dozen people dancing at any one time, so it never got overly crowded. They had a camera trained on the dance floor and then projected it onto the wall behind the bar downstairs which I though was neat.
