Yesterday was the first of Carolyn Mark’s two shows at the Railway Club, and as expected, it was hilarious. She’s absolutely a treat to see live, and even more so the closer she gets to home. The Railway is a great venue for her, too—nice and intimate, as close as you can get to a living room show without losing the bar service. And if the stories of the band’s $240 bar tab in Edmonton are true, it should be obvious why bar service is mandatory.

I don’t know if there was an after-bar party last night; the set ended at 2:30 in the morning, and the principals seemed to hang around until at least 3. Would’ve made sense, though, especially since it was fellow Room-mate Ford Pier’s birthday. In any case, it’ll all happen again tonight, same bat time, same bat channel—if you’re in Vancouver, there’s no other show to see.
