Local 269 has become a bit of a Home for the Baobabs. last week we had our Second show there and we have more planned for August. i handed my camera off the Mike Botier, who went around taking pictures of the evening.
thanks everybody who came out to check out the new band. and send me your pictures [evan@evanhammer.com] – i’ll add them to the set.

the weekend before last, my band, The Baobabs, played at Figment – an art festival on governor’s island. i dressed down for the occasion – rocking viking horns and barefeet. the photos below were taken while i wandered around the island before our set.
while i was in full stride to make my evening’s final ferry, i passed a couple out on the lawn, shrieking at me to come over and take a picture. they were hysterical about my viking horns – much more enthusiastic than the helmet warranted. stories were shared, and it turned out that the lady had asked her gentlemen to choose a dinner cuisine – when he jokingly said VIKING, she replied (unconvinced by his humor) “that would only be funny if a viking walked by right now…” and ‘right now’ happened to be about 15 seconds before i topped the hill they were facing. really? really.
