We had to leave a little early (about the time the beer ran out), but, holy shit, we saw a lot of bands on Saturday night at the Totally Wicked music festival: a night of 18 bands created just for the night, playing one song each, which also meant marathon set-ups in the Khyber Ballroom. Clarinets and twosomes ruled, as did band names: Peeler, Pregnancy Towel, Step 8, Craigness, Sounds Like a City and Cat, A Tonic, etc.
See if you can spot some familiar faces:

Nice work Sue Carter Maysles! (How did I know that it would end on that shot?)
PEELER! PEELER! PEELER!
Note to the city: Get some g.d. ceiling fans for the Khyber ballroom.
