This past weekend, I visited San Francisco with Nathaniel Johnstone for a whirlwind tour; a brief meet-up with my Frisco family, Molly and Jason; and a private performance.

On violin, mandolin, and guitar, Nathan accompanied my friends Jill Tracy and Paul Mercer (with members of the Malcontent Orchestra) at Bimbo’s 365, an antique supper club-turned rock venue. Jill’s performance was the featured entertainment for the Linden Lab/Second Life steampunk-themed holiday party, which I totally snuck into. It pays to have friends in low places and a very nice camera.

Even though the stage lighting was somewhat poor, I managed to get a number of decent photographs. Thank you, monopod and $85 lens. Check out the set here. There’s an especially nice shot of Paul and a portrait of Nathan, and some pics of the band.
