Day 25 - Ani DiFranco saves my knee


I went to see Ani DiFranco tonight at the 9:30 club. It was a great day in DC. It was 75 degrees at one point and everything seemed to be going great. Really great. And Ani's concert was the cherry on top of an incredible chocolate sundae. What a great show. For whatever reason, she has a huge lesbian/bisexual following. So by going to see her in concert, I think that technically makes me a lesbian or a bisexual women. I just like her music. But whatever. I like lesbians and bisexual women too. And anyway, there are much worse things I could be.

Here's a photo of Ani. My iphone's camera is no good at long-range shots, so you'll just have to trust me that she's the yellowish blob in the center of the photo:


But more importantly for the ACL angle of this blog, I continued my beer experiment. There's a lot of steps at the 9:30 club and my knee felt awesome. Very little pain, if any. At this point in the trial, I must attribute the knee improvement to beer's anti-inflammatory properties. Of course, there's no way I could ever prove this scientifically, but emotionally, I feel beer has been essential to my recovery. And that's good enough for me.

Chad Stokes opened up for Ani. Here's a photo of him. Again, you'll just have to trust me that he's the blob in the center of the photo:
