St. Patrick's Day is a big deal in Des Moines. It's not a real populous town but there were plenty of characters out this afternoon as we pulled up to our Tuesday show at Java Joes on 4th street. Seriously though, characters:
Danny and I were right outside of the van when this dude in a pink frock (as you can see above) approached us. He was pretty tanked (it was only about 5pm at this point but all of Des Moines had already committed to the Irish) so I'm not sure if the dress was normal attire, St. Patrick's Day wear (though I don't really get the dress then) or a drunken bet. Maybe a combination of the three.
This photo was taken moments after the last. Except that captain pink frock has just flashed Danny and I. It was horrible and hillarious, as you can see by my reaction. And then in a flash, they were gone:
Wow. That was eventful. In the above shot you can also catch a glimpse of our new Pocket Rocket ortanment... the Dashboard Jesus. We hope to have many more dashboard passengers soon. Earlier in the day Nate was doing his best to fulfill his band mechanic duties, changing fluids and whatnot:
Nice Job Nate. The van's been running great. Overall the Des Moines expereince was excellent. Java Joes is a totally hip place with good food and an entire room devoted to live music and other entertainments. Thanks so much Amy and Tim for having us. We had an excellent time!
