January 31 2009: Adam Sweeney, Katie Sawicki - Conor Byrne Pub, Seattle WA

Was in Portland with Caitlin anyway, and Sweeney tells me he's playing a show in Ballard and that we should come. And who are we to say no to Sweeney? So Ryan/Heather got called up, and they in turn called up Keith/Robin and every other Montana expat in Seattle, and we had ourselves a good old time.

Got into town a little late after making a stop for a couple beers with Alicia at the Red Lion in Kelso, but we still beat the Montanans. Got some Green Lakes and promptly ran into Behr (drumming w/ Sweeney these days), Fuller (providing percussion via egg shaker these days), Greene (who was nice enough to give us an advance of the new Pureka EP) and Allison Terry (hadn't seen her in at least 4 years!). And soon enough Sweeney himself, and soon after the Montanans. And Sweeney played but I hardly noticed cause I was too busy getting bought shots of the house's finest cheapest whiskey and then returning the favor.
