Last night we saw Faraz, Jim, and Katy, who together make up the band Helsinki, play hardcore/thrash in a smelly basement in DC. It was awesome! They sounded great and we had a lot of fun hanging out before and after their set. Some photos from the show and the quick mart where snacks were purchased beforehand are below. Note the impressive Hostess display – they had stuff we’d never even seen before!

Also note that this post and all the photos in it were created on my iPhone! I am seriously impressed, and so happy that we’ll be able to easily blog our cross-country trip from the road. Speaking of that, we leave on Saturday the 13th! I’ll be posting our itinerary sometime before then.
