Hi Ho - Didn't ya know? The tale of Henry Clay and the lying weatherman

'Tis that time of year again, boys and girls. 'Tis the skating time.

As is it's yearly tradition, Spaceland plays host every Thursday of the final winter month to a season-long program (Dec. 6 through Jan. 8) featuring an elite selection of local musical guests doing - you guessed it - things on ice. These little ice skate soirees take place amidst Pershing Square and typically go from about 8 p.m. until nearly 11 p.m.... UNLESS IT RAINS.

Raining on my parade meant no Henry Clay People last Thursday.

Background info: This band has been followed by the L.A. Times, has graced an L.A. Record cover, and most recently rocked the Little Radio Xmas party.

The weather man claimed only a twenty-percent chance of rain in the downtown area. When I arrived and it was pouring at 8 p.m., it became glaringly clear that the weather man had been drinking Grandma's cough syrup when he cast his story, and despite my many elaborate months of cunningly tracking this band for my own advantage - so was everyone else.

Golden Moment: All hail Jennifer Tefft. Rain/unused ice skate/frozen phalanges aside, you are a goddess. You make this little skater's heart go pitter patter in any weather condition.
