wilco

Wednesday night we made our first trip to Wolf Trap to see Wilco, one of my favorite bands. We just saw them at Jazz Fest, but they put a new album out last week so it was nice to hear a lot of new material.

They aren't exactly Lelaine's favorite band, but she was a good sport and went with me. You can bring in your own food and drinks inside, so before the band started we sat on the lawn and had a little picnic dinner, plus a couple of IPAs for me. It was great weather and you could even see a lot of stars, which aren't the most common sight in the DC area.

The highlight for me was hearing some of the new songs, particularly Bull Black Nova and Deeper Down - which I don't like on the album but was great live - and Spiders, which I hadn't heard played at my previous three Wilco shows. The night ended well as Lelaine bought a t-shirt for me, an early birthday present.
