backing up a few weeks, after several strange days of snowy weather, toubab krewe came through town on a cold friday night. african music & some deep south influenced jams aren’t your typical friday night offering in birmingham. it got off to a late start, and ended much later than expected. i don’t think anyone left disappointed. it was one of the best crowds i have seen at zydeco in a long time. maybe that says something about the bands i go see there, or maybe birmingham just hasn’t clued in yet. either way, it was fun to be at zydeco this particular evening. i managed to drag mike out, and we met up with the vegas crew. taylor was kind enough to tape, as usual. between myself & mike we ended up with quite a large amount of video. unfortunately i am still battling with the low light pictures & the settings on this camera. maybe i will figure it out sooner or later. anyway, check out the videos, and if you haven’t caught these guys, be sure to next time they are close by. definitely worth it. you can check out more of toubab videos here

That picture is of me sleeping while standing waiting on the second set to begin. I think it was 4am at that point!..to me it was anyway.
It was way past my ovaltine time. However- worth the lack of sleep!

i will admit, it was pretty late by the end, even by my standards. but i would agree, it was definitely worth it. im still amazed at how much video we shot between the 2 of us. if we had a second camera we would probably have the whole show.
