Last chance until January to see GrooveLily in the area (unless you make the drive to Wilmington or Temenos in PA). The show starts at 8:00, with Paul & Storm opening. This is a great venue, with food, caffeine, and very supportive management.

Early requests:
While You Were Out - we haven't heard it since Wilmington
Prayer for the Unrequited - just because
Electronic Guilt - unheard since Sellersville a year ago

Awaiting the return of the Revolution to the Capital,
JimG

Time traveling superfriends having nothing to do with it, here's (finally) the set list:

Apocalyptic Love Song
Prayer for the Unrequited - by request (TYVM), but dirtied up to become absolutely NASTY
Live Through This
Everything You Got - from the back catalog
Diva Girl - even if one of them is now married again/for the moment, nothing lasts forever :-)
Patiently - Val solo also from the vault
Can't Go Home - from S12
Screwed Up People Make Great Art - ditto
quartet from Whelhaus (I can't find the code for the long "e" and umlauted "a" :-(
- Taking on the World - (Val)
- Giving it All Away - (Brendan)
- Way to See America - (Gene definitely playing against type)
- Surfing the Couches of New York City - (Val) been there, done that
Try Again - yet another chestnut from BEC
No Room in Your Bag
Little Nemesis - scorching as ever

Encores:
Taking it to the Streets - with Gene and Storm alternating on vocals, and Storm doing a dead-on Michael McDonald
Happy Happy Happy - and Paul and Storm again totally destroy Brendan

Paul and Storm opened with a set alternately skewering (rejected ad jingles), hilarious (the real soundtrack for Seabiscuit, and thought-provoking.

Jammin' Java was its usual packed self, with a good number of soon-to-be-converts who came as Da Vinci's Notebook fans. PetalPushers in attendance included Chuck Gambrill and wife, Jane Lewis making the trek from Severna Park, Bryan and Diane swooping down from Baltimore on their way to San Francisco, and David Konigsberg (yet another David the K.!) with family. Val's parents were there as well, and quite welcome.

And so ended the last DC-area sighting of the QMR until the new year. Those of you due to be visited by GrooveLily before they head west, consider yourselves very, very lucky. And if there's any way you can beg, borrow, or steal a trip out to Palo Alto for this year's version of Striking 12, consider it done.

The Revolution goes on to new vistas,
JimG
