Life in the NoPo: Sonic Cheetahs of Death invade Poolesville Maryland

Allow me, Matt, to explain.

Poolesville: This past Saturday was Poolesville Day. Poolesville is a small secluded town that is located relatively near us in Montgomery County Maryland. Unlike where we live, Poolesville has retained it's Maryland 'country charm.' Each year, the town has Poolesville Day. The whole town shows up for this festival. They close off the streets, have a parade, sell food, listen to music, ride horses, throw pies in peoples faces and just plain celebrate.

Now, the reason for our visit to Poolesville Day:

The Sonice Cheetahs of Death: This is a band that includes one of my former housemates and current friends, Scott. Aimee and I are friends with Scott and his wife, Alex.

Anyway, back to the Sonic Cheetahs of Death. They were great. Aimee and I agreed to leave after we listened to a couple of songs since it was so darn hot outside.... but we enjoyed the music so much, we stayed through most of their set.

Poolesville Day and The Sonic Cheetahs of Death may not be a match made in heaven since one is a country town's day celebration and the other an Indie Rock band. Plus, the band was in the earliest slot of the day at 11 am, which doesn't exactly make the situation ripe for a big crowd. Though this is true, the few folks who did sit and enjoy the music didn't seem to care about that. And the band didn't seem to care about their time slot and the 'who' or how many people were watching. They just played their great music and the people listened and enjoyed. The way it should be.

Now, a few pics......
