Panic! in the District

Not only did Widespread Panic come into the nation's capital and put on two stellar concerts earlier this month, they also brought with them their fine fanbase, the spreadheads. Tickets for this small theater show were very evidently rare given the number of people out front looking for a miracle. Fortuntately for the ticketless, there was plenty of nitrous to go around. That's right folks, within actual sight of the home of our President, in downtown DC, there was a working tank on the sidewalk right in front of the theater and NEXT TO A POLICE CAR. Gotta love it.

As a side note: The band has never sounded better to me and I have been seeing them for around ten years. Jimmy Herring has ignited this band and they are really starting to take off. The rest of the band spends most of the show just watching him, clearly thinking that they made the right decision in replacing Houser-replacement George McConnell [no relation to Page].
