all hail the party of the people

On a casual jaunt around Adams Morgan after work last Friday I came across a performance by The People’s Party. This was not a reincarnation of the debunked political party prominent in the American south in the 1890’s, nor a showing by the Spanish “liberal-conservative” party. Oh no! It was a seemingly spontaneous concert by the self described “hippy-hop” group from Venice Beach, CA: The People’s Party. The stage (I use this term loosely, it was a converted van/trailer configuration) was set in front of Asylum with a solid crowd of thirty or so people. These guys rocked, but with a guy playing rock and roll violin and an entourage on the roof, how can you not?
This was my first opportunity to get some use out of my “new” (I think it’s older than me) Olympus XA-2. It is a very fast/discrete little 35mm shooter and should be good for getting some candids.
