So long, Palmer’s. What a perfectly fun, familial and a wee bit chaotic ending.

Played dozens of shows at Palmer’s over the last 25 years, and last night was probably the most unique and insane nights I’ve been a part of. Really fun to be included. Sad to see it go, of course, but we’ll keep tilling the earth…I guess this was the only photo I took. Enjoy the basement view.

“And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
She asked me how to cry
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
Happy as the fool because together we are free.

“Mary’s Pub” by Amble

Good night Palmers 1906-2025.
