Jane plays guitar and keyboards in a band called Dealership. Last night in the middle of an exhibition of artist's notebooks and sketches of cactii they played an all-ages show at the Oakland Museum of California.

Citizens Here and Abroad opened the show. They are a sort of sister band to Dealership - formed by Secadora's Dan and Adrienne and the Chrises of Dealership that stayed in California when Jane went to Japan last year. This is a picture of Dan on stage, with his pedals.

Dealership's listening crowd at the Oakland museum included family, friends, co-workers, other musicians, random. And quite a number of kids who started off in the front row looking very cute and wide eyed, ears stuffed with cotton by their caring parents. After a few songs the wee ones retreated to the back of the room to form a dancing flouncing area. Matt took a picture of Dealership with his phone.

Jane whangs her massive guitar. She's redeveloping her calluses.

During the show Chris W. alternated between laptop and drums. This was the subject of some banter, during which Jane labelled the laptop "Chris 2.0," which Jane and Chris G. decided was more punctual, thinner and more pretty. I wanted to hear both Chris 1 and Chris 2.0 play at once!

Jane and Chris W. stand together. Chris G. I couldn't see from the front row since the glokenspiel blocked his face (Adirenne says it was a "Fresnophone").

After the show, Lisa had us line up on a wall in the Oakland Museum parking lot for a group photo - a range of expressions here.

DealerCitizens piled all their gear back to their shared rehersal studio in West Oakland. Here all the bands and their homies, roadies, groupies and hangers-on (except me the camera person) sit arrayed in the studio freight elevator.

Here is the same group in the fright elevator - an untouched digital camera daguerreotype!
