We Were Indie Pop Enthusiasts Winner of last year’s This America Life Song Contest, local indie pop-ist Michael Boggs (pseudonym – We Were Pirates), joins Headlights and the Evangelicals at Arlington, VA’s IOTA, this Thursday, February, 21st at 9 pm. Tickets are $10 at the door. Chosen for the very best recorded cover of Starlee Kine’s ditty, "The Three of Us", We Were Pirates recently released a 5-song EP, The Wolf, after recording it in his bedroom, like any good fend-for-yourself artist. Moreover, come catch the newly popular Evangelicals, creating quite the buzz out of Oklahoma.
Get there early and have yourself a beer, because showing up for a show you don't think will be sold out, and getting turned away is a down-right horrible feeling. Plus, the windows are now blocked, so pacing back and forth trying to get a peek won’t work too well… anyone want to guess where I was last night?

Phở, a kind of soul food My mother would say, “I’m hungry for some pho,” and right on cue my dad would get up, go upstairs, put on his going out clothes, and I would follow right behind him. Moments later we would meet out at the car and off we went. Out of our drive way we would head south down Federal street to a nondescript single family home located on an ordinary street in a typical suburban neighborhood. Once there we would all file out, knock on the door and was thusly escorted down to the basement were other like minded Vietnamese were gathered. One long table was set up in the middle of the room that accommodated perhaps fifteen to twenty happy noodle slurping patrons seated quite closely to one another. The close proximity didn’t really seem to bother anybody, once you’re in your world of pho; nothing else really seems to matter. After a short while three seats became available, once seated we proceed to order. My brother would come along too but he was too little for a seat so he sat on my mother’s lap, “no space to spare,” the lady would always say. I always got the same thing, Phở Tái, Bò Viên (rare beef with meatballs).
