While I was up in Brattleboro to help get the Tee Pee back stock out of storage back to NYC, there was a familiar face playing a large bright venue on Brattleboro's "main drag" called Marigold.We last saw Ashtray Angel solo acoustic opening for Topaz and Roger That at Berlin.  Today her format was fleshed out with 4 people on the stage.  She's in that anarcho-punk drifter tradition (The Taxpayers anyone?) and couldn't be bothered with simply being tethered to a town.  When I last saw her I thought there was a Connecticut base, but I think she is bouncing around a bit somewhere in the Northeast.  She's got her songs and she's gonna go somewhere and play 'em.

Slow Pony were a local Brattleboro accordian combo.  It was interesting coffee house theatre that seems like it turns up in small towns.  Minted eccentricism in a sort of way.  Interesting that we found the place where the cool kids and outcasts hang out and play on a Friday night.  Low-key and pleasant.
