Vacation rocks so far. Literally. We left on Friday at 23:45 EDT and landed in London around 12:00 UTC Saturday. ( After landing, … )
( Sunday, … )
( On Monday, … )
( We left London on Tuesday, … )
( On Wednesday, … )
The concert absolutely rocked. It may be just Pete and Roger, but they can still rock a hall. If you can call the Treptower Arena a hall. Pete said last night, “this place is kind of a hole—but it’s our hole.” He was right. The Arena appeared to be a converted hanger with no ventilation whatsoever. It had to be 35°C with 90% humidity in the Arena last night. But it was “festival” and we managed to get about 7–10m away from the stage. The picture here is 3× zoomed and significantly reduced in size, but damn was the concert great. Absolutely worth the trip. (AM got to meet Rachel Fuller, too, and may be able to finagle something for the Toronto concert when it happens.) Great night all around.
Off to pick up the car and drive around starting today. I’ll be contacting a couple of Rubyists today to see what can happen with scheduling of things, but we’ll be playing things by ear.
