On the Friday after Thanksgiving, First Avenue and 7th Street Entry host The Replacements Tribute show, which husband and I try to attend every year. It’s gotten to the point where we see old friends that we only run into at this event. The music is local and tight, and the group that goes on last always plays the theme album of the night. Tonight was special for me because the evening was in honor of Hootenanny, the album that holds the first Replacements tune I ever heard. We danced with friends we hadn’t seen since the last ‘Mats tribute and reveled in the greatness of the music.

This is day 333 of Photo 365.
