Pollyn 1/23/09 @ Kinkead Contemporary
Just have to rave about what an amazing surprise I got this weekend! Ok so the surprise wasn't even slightly intended for me, but I will stand by the fact that I think I had to be the most excited guest at Barry Belkin's birthday party held at Kinkead Contemporary this past Saturday night. Chris and I arrived around 9 to a great DJ, an abundance of alcohol and hor d'oeuvres and proceeded to have a wonderful time chatting it up. At one point I am standing out back and I hear a familiar beat, and I look to Chris and go, "Is that Pollyn?!?" Knowing that the band was expected, he responded something to the effect of "Yeah, sorry must have forgotten to tell you. Do you know them?" At which I literally ran towards the front room and sure enough, one of my favorite acts right now, in the flesh! You have to understand I have been waiting since last August to check them out, and then wanted to see them for New Years but alas tickets were sold out. Obviously it was an amazing set, but even so much more so seeing them in such a great, intimate space! Was such an incredible night, with great music and people all around. Turned out to be just the start to a lovely weekend, but I'll leave that for another post.. PS If you don't know Pollyn I HIGHLY suggest checking them out- beyond words!
Haha ;)
