Wilco at the Sylvee
On Friday night I saw the band Wilco perform at The Sylvee here in Madison. Wilco is one of my favorite bands, this was the eighth show of theirs I’ve been to. Every concert I’ve seen them perform has ALWAYS been fantastic, and Friday night was no exception.

On Sunday evening I was part of the drum circle at the Olbrich Park solstice celebration. It was amazing.

After the fire died down to a safe level, the crowd was invited to put their written wishes for the coming year into the fire.
Happy solstice! May all your solstice wishes come true.
