I'm sentimental about October 29, and Slim and I went to a fun Decemberists concert: 110-minute set, lots of audience participation and chatter from the band, more instruments than you could shake a stick at, plus they played "Losing My Religion""We Go Down Together." We showed up 90 minutes after the doors opened, gravitated to a surprisingly good untaken vantage point at the 9:30 so the short Slim would have a chance to see the stage, and happily ran into our friend Rebekah, who had long ago discovered the spot for her concert-going. The band was on KCRW a few months ago.
