New Grass Country Club: 02.26.2011

Once the Fairgrounds shut down each day, the party moves to every bar, club and restaurant with even a distant approximation of a stage or performance area.

Even though he possessed 98% of the combined musical talent of the group, he graciously let me pick all the songs.
