Dei orders oysters

Ballentine, Safina and Paul are already there. We load in, tonight’s lineup –

8:00pm – Accordion Conspiracy
9:00pm – DeiX
9:30pm – Elka Bong

Safina has invited 4 friends, they’re all sitting together in the last row. Maybe thirty people in the audience. Accordion Conspiracy play first, eclectic. A short intermission, we set up. Dei is in story-telling mode. Smaller space, smaller crowd, a broader dynamic range, and a big white wall for video. Elka Bong plays a good set.
