I took a ride up to Massachusetts.  The idea was I would hang for the entire run and sleep in my car.  I had been living out of my vehicle all second semester and this was no different.  I took the long drive and found a ticket right away.  Walked around and enjoyed the scene.

I was into Dupree’s, a favorite of mine at the time.  The Scarlet–>Fire was nice.  I enjoyed Bobby’s scat on Looks Like Rain.

After the show, I bunkered down in my car parked in a private lot.  A few hours later, I awoke to a bunch of lights shining on me.  The police were clearing the lots and made it clear that there was no place to sleep around the area.  Instead of the hassle, I drove home (five-six hours).

Also blogged on this date . . .
