Dan Mangan: Live at Zulu Records

I learned via Dan's Twitter account(@danmanganmusic) that he'd be playing live in-store at Zulu Records at 5pm yesterday (August 22). So I grabbed my camera and walked the whole 10 blocks downhill from my house to Zulu and was hit with this:

It dawned on me later (not to mention, made me feel old) that it's technically an all ages show, which explains the vast amount of young girls in attendance.

The show was short and sweet, and ended with the entire store singing along to "Robots".
Many of Dan's friends from the Vancouver music scene showed up as well: Peter Carruthers, bass player from Said The Whale, Josh McNorton from The Painted Birds, Zach Gray of The Zolas and singer-songwriter Nadia von Hahn.
