We went to see The Mountain Goats again, this time in Baltimore, at a tiny hole-in-the-wall club called Ottobar. Alex was right at the front of the stage, but I got a seat on a bench up in the balcony, which was right next to the left side of the stage. I had a good, up-close view of the backs of the band. I could have reached down and patted the keyboardist on his head. The sound quality where I sat was terrible (I wonder how the band can gauge whether they're on key, because it all sounded off to me, since I was behind the speakers.) Anyway, here are my sketches:
Before the concert
The opening band - Megafaun
