Grass Widow

Grass Widow is absolutely my new favourite band -- three cooler chicks you will not meet, I tell you what.

I saw them play three times in 24 hours, no small feat. They were so good the first time that I decided to pick up and go on tour with them the next day, as they had two more shows in New York City. One was at a backyard barbecue in Clinton Hill, the other was in the basement of a candy shop in Little Italy. In between the two shows we went to Veselka for pierogi and to Staten Island via the ferry. It was quite a memorable day, and I am glad to have spent it with them.

I first met them the week before, although I arrived too late to their show to catch them. Fresh off an airplane from Mexico and Florida, I rode my bicycle to Bruar Falls but missed the entire show. I did introduce myself to them that night, luckily for me as a few moments later they were posing for photographs with some dude wearing a Cookie Monster costume. Never a dull moment, etc.

 Letting a little light in on the situation.

 A tender moment.

Hungry for pierogi.

Special binoculars to better see the Statue of Liberty.

Candy.

Underneath the candy.

The Cookie Monster strikes again, etc.
