Grant's friend Carla had just moved to NY from Vancouver! After the performance, there was a nice afterparty complete with a bonfire in the backyard!

The Volvo was on fire so severely that it managed to burn the back and front of the two cars parked nearest before the fire department got it under control. ...for some freshly-cooked Guatemalan food on their neato indoor oven.
