I get to see these guys AGAIN this weekend. I think The Thermals and Surfer Blood may be the only repeat from Bumbershoot.
Wait, and Ra Ra Riot and Laura Veirs. And the Decemberists, but I didn’t even get to shoot the Decemberists. UGH I’m so excited. And I’m surprisingly not tired. Bumbershoot high anyone? This better last all the way through Musicfest Northwest. And as much as I LOVED the 70-200mm, it’ll be the relief to know that I’ll be inside buildings most of this next week. No rain, and my nice light lil’ 50mm.
The Thermals at the Crystal Ballroom back at MFNW in September.
Why am I posting this photo of Kathy and Hutch?
Oh, just that I get to see this lovely band twice again within one week in January. The 21st at Neumo’s and the 23rd at The Northern in Olympia. I’m so excited to go to a show in Olympia. Seriously you have no idea.
SO EXCITED.
Awww, I love The Thermals so much.
I have a strange girl crush on Hutch. He’s adorable.
And they’re so much fun live.
Ahhhh January is going to rock. Just like last year, boo yeah.
Best album review ever:
New @thethermals album: A+ 10/10 would bang

![Dudes, dudes, dudes.
This is my friend Dave’s photo from the Thermals show in Seattle last Friday.
Isn’t it great?!?
I love it. And I love Hutch.
