Whitperson was texting me yesterday from All Good and he seemed like he was having an absolute blast. Hopefully we’ll get some updates from him once he gets some rest. As for my weekend, I caught a fantastic show last night at Cafe Du Nord and forgot to blog about it before I went: Surprise Me Mr. Davis with Big Light opening. It was solid, and it sold-out without really having too much buzz surrounding it. Great sets by both bands sent me off very happily into the night.
