Mar. 26th, 2012 12:00 pmFriday night, the three of us plus Lenora went to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
s00j and Heather Dale (with Betsy Tinney and Ben Deschamps) doing a show together. We've been Sooj fans for a long time, and after Strowlerfest became big fans of Heather Dale as well, so the chance to see both of them was eagerly anticipated.
Even before the show started, I had run into two people I've known for years and years but not seen or talked to in quite a long time, and it was kind of fun to be The One That Knows People for once. Darla I used to work with back in 1996-7 at the St Louis Police Department, and haven't seen since about 2005 or so. Robin I met later, but was in the same circle, and have seen but not talked to at a few recent local concerts (Sharon Knight, Ginger Doss, Bekah Kelso).
We had a fabulous time, and the show was awesome; great music, a really good feeling of community and building energy. We got a few more Heather Dale CDs to add to our collection, and she signed one of them for us. Since we already owned all of Sooj's CDs, we bought her book, and she signed it for Rosa. The book's illustrator was in attendance, so she signed it too, and we bought her coloring book "Lesser Known Goddesses".
After the show, we went to the City Diner for dinner, where I was fascinated by a diner at another table. He was wearing a gray suit, skinny black tie, and white shirt; he had slicked back short hair, and he wore black plastic glasses with a straight-across top and round lenses. I kept thinking he looked like a refugee from the 50's. Then he and his companions left, and I glanced over to the other side of the room, where a collage of vintage album covers hang on the wall.
He looked exactly like the Buddy Holly album cover hanging there. Which I have just spent twenty minutes trying to locate on Google Image Search, to no avail. I found lots of Buddy Holly album covers but none that exactly match. I even found a picture of the album cover collage, but its resolution is too low to pull out the cover in question.
