What a perfect way to start out the festival. “Fugazi covering the Rolling Stones” aka Gem Jones.
Gem Jones, first band of #missioncreek. This kind of reminds me of Fugazi covering Rolling Stones. twitter.com/mrswanker/stat…

“My favorite time period was about 200 A.D., which was after the old Roman gods but before the idea of The Christ. It was a time when humans were alone on the Earth.”

We like Logan because he’s got his priorities straight.
Instead of doing homework I’m going to a show, this happens way too often #missioncreek
— Logan Hood (@lkhood29) April 3, 2013
Logan is also a bit of a joker (or perhaps a budding anthropologist?)
Shows at the @mill_iowacity are like a live version of Portlandia #missioncreek

Iowa City and video art goes together like a double IPA with a currant scone. Or perhaps pork shank with a Pinot Noir. You could have had any of those pairing tonight at Mission Creek.
Julianna Barwick is still going strong with a video I mind you. There are a lot of people her. They get it. #missioncreek

The crowd stayed friendly. As if a mutal love for Thao & The Get Down Stay Down was all that they needed to get through the night.
A friendly crowd packed into The Mill for Thao. The mandolins just brought out. Any moment, friends. #missioncreek via.me/-b1ygz30
