Last Night Was Great. Thanks. Whew...

I'd like to thank everyone who came out last night to the first of our monthly Let's Independent! events at Boardner's in Hollywood to see The Western States Motel, Great Northern, and The Movies. It went really well and everyone seemed to have a great time.

I'd also like to sincerely thank all three bands, who sounded awesome and were super goddamn nice; Trish, Joe, Lenny, Gabe, and everyone else at Boardner's; all of my great friends like Flounder, Racheal, Laurie, Patti, and Shazi, who were completely supportive, came early, and stayed late - and in Flounder and Racheal's cases, even worked the door; our staff writer Josh, who drove all the way out from Santa Barbara to attend; The Movies' superstar manager Mary Rahmani; our excellent djs EGROEG and Eyad, who kept the people in the club dancing; our rad street artist pal Olive 47 for designing the flyer; and the folks at KXLU, The LA Times, Indie 103.1, Flavorpill, Rock Insider, You Set The Scene, and Silverlake Rehearsal for helping get the word out about the night.

There were luckily several professional photographers on hand last night whose work I'll point to later on this week once they post their pics, but for now, you can see a handful of snapshots that my friend Jed and I took at the event right here.

UPDATE: Here are some great shots from Mary Catherine.
