The Soiled Dove

Last night I got dragged by a couple girlfriends to The Soiled Dove, a small local venue for live music. I haven't seen much since the John Mayer debacle at Red Rocks, so this was far outside my usual weekend routine. And it turned out GREAT! There were four acts and all of them were great; one guitar duo ryanhood so impressed me I bought their cd.

This was actually my second fieldtrip for live music yesterday, I went to the theater screening of Carmen at the Met. It was staggeringly good, perhaps the best opera I've ever seen, and Elina Garanca as the lead just gave me goosebumps she was so perfect. If you have any interest in this program at all, the encore screening is February 3, I couldn't recommend it more highly.
