Dumpstaphunk
Riding off of the bliss of the Friday night show, we started Saturday off right with Pancakes @ It’s Tops. After that, we could do no wrong. It was a perfect day complete with naps and more excellent music.
We started off the evening at Cafe du Nord, catching the first Ledbetter and his Best Bet set in a long time. Joe was in good form, flanked by many of our talented friends.
Then it was back to the independent for the Tim Reynolds Trio and Dumpstaphunk. I’ve been really into funk for the past couple years, and these guy deliver. The whole place was getting down. It was funktastic. I even met Tony Hall, which was random. I imagine him putting my cd on and thinking “what the f is this? why would someone give me this?”.
Stina was sitting courtside on the bench for the latter half of the show, so I was occasionally getting up in it with her while she sat. Later on a dude gave her a dollar to stuff down my drawers. The funk was on.
