d.c. space celebrated its 30th anniversary, as well as a fund raiser for Tom Terrell, at the 9:30 Club. Several dozen bands performed including those coming together for this gig (Tiny Desk Unit), guys in one band (Black Market Baby) back then and now another band now (Dolfi & Boyd), bands that appear to be getting together again (9353) and the local celebs (Chuck Brown). What a party! I saw people I hadn't seen in 10-15 years. For once, I did not feel like a chaperone at a bar in DC.
What brought us all together in fun and happiness that night brought us back together again a week later for remembering a friend whose life had ended and who, like the rest of us, had been at the d.c. space reunion. Bob, who used to work at the old 9:30 club, and was also my roommate back then, is now longer with us. I do not know this reason but he looked happy that night at 9:30, his band played and he got to see a lot of old friends. Rest in Peace and if there is a life hereafter, our paths will cross one more time.
