Photos ~ First Night Tacoma 2008

Sarah and I had a great time out at First Night for New Years Eve last night. We followed our itinerary without wavering 'cause each performance we saw was right on! There was enough good stuff planned that we thought we might do some double shifts by sneaking out of one performance to see another. No need though.

We'll be keeping our eyes out for more Oh Voices for their great depth of song and style, Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Association for the sheer fun of hearing such an amazing instrument, The Little Brothers for their heart-wrenching alternative (though I would almost call it "soul") country, and Zazou's tight and creative (love their tiki bar traffic island song) French/gypsy jazz sound.

Thanks to everyone who brought First Night back with such great entertainment and for putting on a solid fireworks display that went off without a hitch (unlike some others I know). See you next year and Happy 2008 everyone!

Hi Kevin,

I'd like to use some of these photos on the First Night website if I have your permission. (With credit and a link back here)

Let me know! I'm trying to get the gallery up today and I really need more pictures of the musicians.

Go for it Jen. Let me know if the sizes of the shots here work or if you'd like higher res ones. Thanks!
