Friday, 31 July 2009. The South Street Seaport was under inches of water. The downpour was torrential and the location deserted. Well, except for those sorry drenched souls being involved with putting on or covering the show, yours truly included. If I learned one thing that night, it was that rain ponchos don’t do shit for you on a bike. All they do is make you look stupid for riding around with a garbage bag flapping in the wind. Bottomline: It was easy enough to figure out that the free Polvo and Obits shows won’t happen. At least not at this location. Instead it was moved to the newly opened Brooklyn Bowl on the other side of the East River, making it the first ever “away match” for a Seaport event. Why did I ride my bike into Manhattan again? Anyway, at $5 Brooklyn Lager pints at the spacious and luxurious Williamsburg joint in the end it turned out to be quite a splendid and dry night after all. Thanks to the Seaport Crew for pulling through with this the way they did. Their hardwork was rewarded with two memorable sets  of guitar driven sonic bliss. Videos and Set Lists from both Polvo and Obits below.
