Boo!

So it's Halloween. Another excuse to dress up and eat lots of candy. The only thing that would make it even better is to get the day off, but that's not going to happen.

The last week has been very busy. I was in Chicago last Thursday and had a wonderful time. The Ritz is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The room was basically a small apartment minus the kitchen. The concert was fabulous--we were in the 1st row. We road in a limo before and after the show. What could be better?

Now I'm back and decded at the last minute to go to Niagara Falls on Saturday for another show. This one is at a casino. It should be very fun indeed. My concert tix aren't all that great, but I've been close enough several times now. It's time for another perspective! I'm not just going for the show. The whole band thing is great, but the people I've met and keep meeting make it even better and the friendships extend outside of the shows. It's a wonderful thing. I never would have met these people otherwise. Occasionally you meet someone you really click with and you feel like you've known them your whole life. It's such a good experience and constitutes most of my meager social life right now. It's lame, but how do people my age make friends? Most "friends" I make are at work and all we do is talk work. This is completely away from that and it's great. It means I really get to take a vacation from my life.
