Every time a venue reposts a photographer with credit, a dark angel gets their wings. ❤️

A couple of images from @BeauSoleil_Band earlier tonight @DakotaMpls. Thanks to the band, as always. With love (and shortbread) from #CookieLadysWorld.

A coworker was grabbing amazing black and white portraits earlier at work today. Here’s an inspiration off of that, from my evening @DakotaMpls with @BeauSoleil_Band.

So good to hear @BeauSoleil_Band playing tonight on a cold night in Minneapolis; back @DakotaMpls. #supportlivemusicvenues

Loved hearing @jmessersmith new single on @TheCurrent the morning commute, and the reminder of the “Late Stage Capitalism” show in 2018 (!). A couple of 📷, for @FirstAvenue of that night. #sustainer #supportlivemusic

@KyberCait 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂. Things that don’t have a gender for $200=cameras. (I hear ridiculous stuff everyday in the camera business; “more manly” is a new one; more archaic though, absolutely😏😂).

It’s insanely cold here; I’d rather stay home, listen to records and be productive around the house. But retail (aka a paycheck) calls.

RT @s8n:

“The house smells like music”; it’s always a good night in #CookieLadysWorld, when our musical friends pass this way.

Last February @TheParkwayMPLS; @BeauSoleil_Band, photographed for the band. #CookieLadysWorld.

I’m exhausted (for reasons of my own, and by the nationwide epidemic of complete morons and their fascist unelected billionaires), yet I still have to head in to retail. Because the tooth fairy isn’t gonna pay the bills, and I need to fight off despair, somehow.

Another one of Guy Davis, earlier tonight, for and @TheCedar. Acoustic blues (and lovely lighting ).

Sometimes actual “while you are asleep” dreams is a reminder of the dozens of decisions (or lack of them, which amounts to the same thing) that lead us down a path to that “I hope I get another decade on this ride” part of a life.

Sometimes it’s a rock show, and sometimes it’s a Nordic violinist. Earlier this month for and @TheCedar. Lena Jonsson, playing with her trio.

That’s a hearty “f**k off, you rich weasels!” If you don’t like the building we just paid to renovate, maybe don’t pretend you’re supporting the city. A new “stadium amount of money” could house every unhoused person in the city; maybe do that. That matters to suburbanite fans.
