The “Give Me Liberty” after-work party takes place on the second Thursday in June and is a chance for people who live and work in Liberty Village — an area of Accordion City full of factories converted into lofts, offices and television and radio stations — to gather for a street party featuring a beer tent, food from local restaurants and live and DJ’d music.
One of the traditions of the “Give Me Liberty” party is my playing a couple of tunes on accordion between DJ sets. This year was no different — I played Fatboy Slim’s Praise You and Steppenwolf’s Born to be Wild for the crowd. The Ginger Ninja shot video of the whole thing, which appears below:

Really sorry I missed you. My shots from the party are here.
Damn, and this year I can't make it to Word on the Street, so I can't do any serious stalking to hear the accordion. I need something to separate it from polkas at the senior daycare center where I once worked -- one of the aids tormented the poor thing in an attempt to distract the elderly.
Well that's the first time I've ever seen you play. That was really something. I hope I can make it down there tomorrow.
