Mavis Staples played the Hideout Blockparty back on September 24th and the beer lines and portopotty lines were really long. Waiting in line I met a pretty young lady named Ivy. The next night I ran into her again with her friend Brian at a small show put on by Lætitia Sadier. Yesterday I ran into them again at the free "Cultivate Festival" which had the White Rabbits and Calexico. Calexico did an excellent cover of Love's "Alone Again Or" (see above.) Brian said he was at the Onion A.V. Club Blockparty with Archers of Loaf back on the 11th. Ivy was at the Beirut concert, the night after Sadier's show. We joked about what's next on the calendar.*
