In case you didn’t know, this won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance a couple months ago. Maybe you didn’t make it to Utah this year. Maybe you should have gone to Gabe’s?
Pussy Riot screening starting! #news #missioncreek

Wonder what the trigger word was that warranted a patrol… ‘pussy’ or ‘riot’? Or maybe it was just to show solidarity with a feminist performance art punk collective.
Uh oh, cop just came into the Pussy Riot screening at Gabe’s. #MissionCreek

Maybe you saw Jen Percy and Eileen Pollack last time they were through, maybe you didn’t. Either way, it was definitely worth checking out the reading at Prairie Lights.

Christopher the Conquered has a nice following in Iowa City and they were all delighted to hear some new arrangements to the classics. Overheard by one attendee who was new to CC… “wow, what a stage presence!”
Christopher the Conquered has completely reworked “the truth is on its way”.This is fucking phenomenal.#MissionCreek

“Dreamy” will be the theme tonight at the Yacht Club, and Mirror Coat started it off with the right amount of reflection.

Black Ocean, you are my hero. I’m averaging a whiskey every ten days.
Averaging a whiskey every ten minutes at The Mill to kick off our first night in Iowa City #missioncreek — Black Ocean (@BlackOceanOrg) April 4, 2013
Nothing sounds sweeter. Working 9 to 5 on a Gloomy Sunday in Our Town.
Iris Dement might just have the perfect country voice. Dolly Parton channelling Billy Holiday. #missioncreek

There was a special, quiet reverence hushed over The Mill tonight. It wasn’t the biggest crowd, but everyone really, really wanted to be there.

You didn’t, Melody, don’t worry. (it’s cool guys, I use these creepy pickup lines on her at home too — they don’t work.)

Team Dreamy pulls out to a commanding lead. Catchy rhythms and sing-along melodies seem like a sure strategy.

Here comes Team Screamy! With a great start by Gluestick (under a brand new name we couldn’t quite make out) and Nerv, things are heating up!

It’s neck-and-neck as this luscious garage pop band with former Guided By Voices member puts on a beautiful show down at the Yacht. #dreamy
Detective is on the stage now. It’s poppy and energetic, but not overly so. #missioncreek
— A.C. Hawley (@acethoughts) April 4, 2013
Oh shit! Team Screamy pulls ahead as Anna spits on a dude and shoves some bald guy out of her way!
I think Slut River just spit on some dude. #punkasfuck #missioncreek — Caleb (@mrswanker) April 4, 2013
