Sorry I've let the Spartan Bar go dry, though one might recall this hapenned not infrequently at the Paca-Carrol Spartan Bar. I was down in San Jose for Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur and played a bunch of shows with the Mad Maggies, including one at the Placerville Pagan Festival. I made a fine dinner this weekend: squash soup, polenta with gorgonzola and a salad with the eight or so cherry tomatoes I was able to pull from the garden.
