Today, we are going to be spending some time going to a few vintage record stores in the area so that Rhonda can find a “Thank you for being a supportive husband, thank you for making it easier for me to go and see the band” present for her husband. Let’s hope I’m successful! We are also going to be getting ready for our largest meet up/pre-party to date tonight in Durham. I am thrilled that so many people are coming out to have a good time with us before the show! It is bound to be a good party, and with any kind of luck we’ll be simply continuing the party at the concert tonight. (So maybe the band should be thankful that we’re handling the warmup for them…)
It’s hard for me to believe I’m just past the midpoint for this little road trip/tour of mine. I hate counting down the days before I turn into a pumpkin and go home, so let’s just not do that. I’m taking each day as it comes, having a good time and not really looking too far beyond whatever I’m doing at the time. For me, this is really a good exercise in living in the moment, since when I’m at home, I rarely have that luxury. Any of you who are able to accomplish that with children should be giving classes to those of us who haven’t figured it out!
So, what are my hopes for this evening’s show? (Because I’m certain you all want and need to know…) Well, I’d really like to hear MEDITERRANEA. I love that guitar riff, and the song easily transports me on even the worst days. How can that be so wrong to add to the set?? There’s also Leopard – the band is making a big mistake by not putting it in the set, but since they’ve added SAP back in, I’m not holding my breath to hear it. (I still say that they should play Mediterranea!)
I promise to report back after the show and meet up, and once Amanda and I are safely back to our own homes, you’ll be finding pictures and possibly even some video from our trip that will be added into the blogs! Have a great day!
