These shoes


These are the shoes Exploding Poptart wore to see Michael Franti and Spearhead last week. They are the same shoes she used to wear to the Cyber Ball. It felt good to carry so many memories on the walk around the corner to the show.

This is the restaurant where Exploding Poptart and Papercup Mixmaster had dinner before the show. And, incidentally where Michael Franti had dinner before the show.


This is the band that opened for Michael Franti. They rock.

The show was joyful and engaging. His music makes so much more sense in a live context. Suddenly we understand why so very many of his songs have lyrics about making noise, putting your hands up, and how, truth be told "I like my bass loudy, loudy, LOUDER. Poptart and Mixmaster agree, Franti knows how to keep a crowd engaged. It was a great night. A shout out to K-nob and Boog for having a sleepover with Wuggy Norple so we could throw our hands in the air.


This is the band that opened for Michael Franti. They are from Australia and we love them.
