Late Night

I was up until 2:30AM this morning at the WFMU marathon where the atmosphere was appropriately charged with many positive vibes. By 9:00 Sunday evening they had reached their fund raising goal and spirits were very very high. All night, DJs were performing karaoke accompanied by a live band and the performances just got better and better. Once the goal had been reached, the pressure was off and people could really relax for the first time during the two week marathon.

There were so many excellent performances, but one definite standout was Bryce's stirring rendition of John Ashcroft's Let the Eagle Soar, complete with full instrumental accompaniment (including saxaphone). A few others off the top of my head were Baker Street, Tattoo by The Who, I Love You, Dummy, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, And Tom Scharpling's version of Born to Run. Honestly there were so many more but I can't remember the titles.

It was an amazing time. I took many photos and I've put them up here.
