Have I mentioned the amazing weather we had last weekend?  On Saturday it made for a beautiful night indeed to go hear a bunch of bands at a Club Sandwicher's house in Oakland, a venue cleverly dubbed the Cattle Car.  True, there was one moment when we were all crammed into the sauna-like garage that I had a moment of genuine claustrophobia, realizing the route to the exit was blocked by dozens of sweaty hipsters.  But then I realized said hipsters were doing nothing more than politely rocking out in place and that there was no need to worry about needing a sudden escape route.  The line-up on this particular night included Long Legged Woman, Ganglians, Tonstartssbandht, and the awesome Sic Alps, and in between sets we all went and sprawled in the grass in the backyard under the stars and watched the police helicopters circle overhead.  I lingered way longer than I should have, especially considering I had a DJ gig bright and early the next morning, but once Sic Alps got going I found myself compelled to stay and dance awhile.
