G1M

I saw an act today, and yesterday some too, (it was a rock concert straddling the midnight when yesterday became today) called G1M perform songs from an album called "Lois Lane" and what is more this was the release party for the album. Anyhow the photo here of that Graham guy who bartends at the Olive Garden in Bloomington, Minnesota that I always eat at and I guess who uses the stage name G1M and the video as well were taken today specifically after the turn of midnight.

The Twin Cities are full of Somali immigrants displaced by the mess that "Black Hawk Down" movie was all about. "The Red Sea" is technically an Ethiopian dive not a Somali one, but along those lines it has the Somali vibe. 320 Cedar Ave, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454 was the spot for this event, and, yes, the Somali/Ethiopian bar/restaurant is also, surreally, a music venue.

The show was better than I expected it to be. At the end of the night Graham brought his girlfriend who recently became his wife, Lauren, on stage and sang to her. It was fun.

 
 

Addendum 2/18/2019: Graham is a Mr. Graham Germo and Lauren a Lauren Olson.
