Spenard Spring Social Photos

I took a few pictures at the Spenard Spring Social. I also set up a group pool if anyone else has any pictures from this event, or even from any of the Spenard Spring Socials from the last ten years or so. We had to leave early, after One Blue Wall finished, because the kids had to leave after their set since they’re minors. And also because we had a babysitter waiting for us. So we didn’t get to see all the bands. Maybe next year.
