"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Neko @ The Zoo

Yesterday I went to see Neko Case play as part of the Zoo Tunes series at the Woodland Park Zoo. The show started off great, with Neko sounding just as wonderful as usual, but about five songs into her set the skies opened up to what must have been our heaviest downpour of the summer (ironically enough Neko had just played a cover of Bob Dylan's "Buckets of Rain"). We tried to tough out the bad weather, building a make-shift rain fort out of the blankets we'd brought to sit on, but eventually Mother Nature won out driving us out to find real shelter.
