Another fun time at Moss House! Great food, good peeps, and lots of music.

Today marked Lyba's professional debut in California. I can't say whether her originals are destined to last, but her cover choices were pretty darn good, especially the Joni Mitchell song, Carey.

And the Harman's surprised us with a Zappa cover, Son of Mr. Green Genes. Doug claimed that he goofed it up, but I didn't notice any extraordinary train wreck: must have been a minor error.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
