Tonight – Dark Star Orchestra

February 20th, 2009

Tori and I will be bringing Tiny E to tonight’s DSO show at The Newport.  I used my Decibel Club membership (finally!) to get free tickets to the show.  If you don’t know, DSO recreates the music of the Good Ol’ Grateful Dead in an alarmingly accurate manner.  They modify stage setups, band members and set lists to match the exact period they are recreating.  In 2007, Tori and I attended Gratefulfest at Nelsons Ledges, and DSO performed flawlessly.  The shows are not only a great time, but they serve as a meeting point for area Deadheads.  I’ve talked to others about how it can be really difficult to connect with like minded people when you move around as much as we do, so the ability to boogie my ass off and meet new friends is always welcome.  I’ve seen them maybe a dozen times, and always had a fantastic experience.  If you’re in the Columbus area, come check them out tonight!
