I had a lovely time last night at Treasure Presents: LSGM 30 - a celebration of Low Sunday Ghost Machine at Smalls Cafe! Thanks to Manny Theiner for inviting me, Lowsunday and company for their warmth and charm, Elaina for serving up drinks and keeping things going, Cafe manager Greg Ketteman for helping it all happen, Smalls owner Liz Berlin for letting it all happen and stopping by to visit, Amadea for a relaxing opening DJ set, and DJ Huck Finn for saving the day with a longer-than-anticipated, very fun set of dark new wave and post-punk.

Sadly, I got all set up and soundchecked, only to have last-minute technical difficulties that prevented me from DJing, but I just finished recording the set I intended to play. Click to listen to it now on Mixcloud!
