We had a very exciting time at “LOVE IS A PRISON” on 3/22/13 at PRECINCT in Somerville! We celebrated the spirit of VAUDEVILLE with an insane night of rock and ventriloquists, and burlesque, and comedy and as The Dig said, “Oh shit! It’s like Moulin Rouge all over again! … Sort of.”
Johnny Anguish of Daykamp Music was there taking photos, he’s always a very welcome sight in the front row of any show. I’m going to link a few of them within!

Our very fancy emcee was Tad McKitterick (of one of my favorite bands, Sidewalk Driver) – he, being the classy man that he is, wrote a song just for the event…all about vagitarians! Link to more Daykamp Photos of Tad
