週末下午 Women's Music and Choo Choo Train

The 13th Annual Iowa Women's Music Festival was held on Saturday, September 9, at the Upper City Park. We got there during KJ Denhert's performance. I didn't know anything about this urban folk and jazz artist, but the caption of a postcard promoting her music reads if you want to know what KJ sounds like, imagine combining Cassandra Wilson, Roberta Flack and Sting with a dash of James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. Add lots of soul, groove and BIG hair!

In Iowa City, it's quite often to see lesbian couples attending certain events, and that afternoon at the music festival, many of them gathered to enjoy a lovely afternoon.

I wish we could stay longer for more music, but Raleigh and Lo-lin ran out of patience and wanted to get on the rides at the other side of the park. So we left as music lingered on . . .

and got on the choo choo train, and watched Lo-lin becoming a pilot.
