Tonight I met Aggie and erin for dinner and we went to see good old Jordan perform at the Sidewalk Cafe. It was the first time I've seen him play outside of his bedroom, and the first time ever I've seen heard him on guitar. I am pleased to report that his original songs are both witty and melodical, with some admirable hooks, his songwriting style (as well as, to a certain degree, his voice and demeanor) reminiscent of TMBG's John Linnell. I particularly enjoyed his earnestly self-conscious stage banter, and the use of punnery in his lyrics. Although Jordan had previously been perpetually fourteen years old in my mind, tonight I saw him as a creative guy living out his dream. Also, my whiskey sour was only four dollars.

I am further pleased to report that I finally gave erin the Harry Potter scarf I made her last winter (jeer-within-a-cheer to two of my shoddily-attached tassels falling off). A man who barely spoke English approached us on the subway platform to ask erin where she got the scarf. That was awesome.
