I saw the Mountain Goats perform at the El Rey. John Darnielle played a black pin-striped guitar in a black suit, pink tie, and bare feet. I did not capture an image so good, but I did sketch people while I waited. I gave the most labored portrait to its subject, a security guard. He was not altogether happy with the belly I gave him, or rather the one he possessed. My favorite drawing of the group is the most efficient, it looks like the guy I was saw across the dark theater. It looks like a guy I see at most shows.
