Saturday music

My friend Nick was amused that I managed to squeeze Mahler and Akimbo
into the same evening. At 8pm, I was onstage at Benaroya with the
Symphony Chorale singing Mahler's 8th, easily one of my favorite
choral works I've ever sung.

A quick costume change and bus ride later, i was on Capitol Hill to
see Akimbo play their tenth anniversary show at King Cobra. Since the
headliners weren't on till midnight, I had plenty of time to hang with
Nick, as well as other friends/girlfriends/parents/members (Jon & Nat)
of Akimbo. Jon's mom, in particular, was fabulous. Cheeky. And she was
selling band merch before the show!

Akimbo played a very exciting, very loud set. Now that I think about
it, high decibel levels were common to both concerts.
