Thursday follow up

Two follow up things from Tuesday's story on Boise's stained glass windows (you can read it here) that I thought you should know!

1. Boise is also home to Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel, which is the oldest continuously operating synagogue west of the Mississippi! You can read more about it here. (Thanks Alan!)
2. And a very Boise anecdote: Amanda wrote the story. Ted took the photos. After it was published, Amanda wrote me and said her and Ted went to college together haha! Of course.

Tunes & shows

You guys, Cedric Burnside & Black Joe Lewis was sooo good last night! Lots more good shows coming up. A few recommendations:

Go see Boise locals Dirt Fishermen, aka Belle, Troyject at The Olympic Venue this Friday Jan 21. Dirt Fisherman doesn't play that often anymore so go see em while you can!

If you wanna do some dancing, go to Trash Fence, Orographic, Not That Jennifer, Thenon at VAC on Saturday, Jan 22.

Do not miss Washed Out and Brijean at El Korah Shrine next Thursday Jan 27. It's an all ages show, so bring your friends and fam. It's gonna be a fun, dancey, uplifting show <3
