The Last Harvest of 2023 at 3003
It had been a long while since we had a house concert here. A worldwide shut down due to a microscopic killer mainly but also floods and fires. It's been quite an action packed last few years.
But it's over now so it was time to open the space up to a night of music. Time to get The Dirty Snacks and Shimscheimler Family in here.
A house concert or not, the place needed a deep deep cleaning anyway so I took things down to bones, cleaned, waxed, polished and new coats of finish on just about everything. Three weeks of cleaning. Let me tell you, the dust from a couple years of wood working along with the industrial soot of West Oakland, the space absolutely had to be cleaned.
Glasses came off, bar got polished.
The LC back together.
Cleaned and tidied up the hand tool wall, scraped and washed windows.
Took some photos off the wall added new ones.
Had been barreling 6 liters of tequila for a year, stuck a spout in the barrel and made a premixed cocktail out of it.

Beginning the load in and set up.

The morning after.
Tip jar for those that didn't prepay.
Feels so good to feel the magic of music and people together again.
