So my friend Emily forgot she had a concert of her own tonight and gave me her ticket to her conflicting concert, which was at the Iron Horse Music Hall and featured folk-gospel-alt band Eddie from Ohio. Their lead singer has one of those voices you hear on CD and think, "no way she sounds that good live," and then you go see her perform and she sounds even better than on the recording. Pretty amazing. Their songs are funny and folksy and powerful, or two out of the three at a time. They've been playing together for 17 years now and they do it right. Highly recommended.

Oh, and the bonus of the night was realizing that the hostess who seated us played one of the two characters in my staged reading of Lindsay Lohan's Birkin two years ago. Dang, has it really been two years?
