The key to Providence, R.I.
Marshall Allen
The Sun Ra Arkestra played for the Foo Festival at AS220 in Providence, RI. Mayor Cicilline of Providence introduced the band and gave them the key to Providence. Each band member was decked out in a sparkling sequined robe. I was enchanted by their incredible performance and joviality. If I wasn't in Providence then I was on Mars - tres cosmique!

thanx for the wonderful pics, katelin! i was there, more or less in the center, up front. what a show, what a performance, and a meteor flashed across the sky during 'space is the place'!
