thank heavens this isn't a slackjaw photo
Our very kind and generous friend, Howard, is the manager of The Swell Season. Not only did he commission Shawn and me to design and launch the bands' site (our most high-profile project to date--and possibly ever), but he provided us with amazing seats for the show. Then, he set us up with backstage passes.
Baggermaniac (since the Cincinnati days!) and kindred spirit Margot Madison drove up with her husband for the night. Glen Hansard is her personal obsession, so this meant even more to her than it did to me.
Turns out that pregnant women and mothers of three make the most endearing groupies. Glen spoke with us for several minutes and even allowed Margot to grill him about everything from how he feels about touring to whether he is an introvert or an extrovert (answer: a combination of both). We also bonded over the election (note the matching Obama pins!) And in all, he was very gracious and disarming.
P.S. Don't you think Shawn could totally be Glen's stunt double? Shawn's opening line was going to be, "I'll bet you get mistaken for me all the time." Shawn actually took the photo.
P.P.S. The baby loved the concert. He was in my stomach, kicking away all evening. I think he might grow up to be a drummer.
