Morning earworm: Acid Rain, Liquid Tension Experiment - this is why I have a 7-string.
In an unusual burst of ambition, I got most everything done yesterday that I have been dragging on for the last week - the work room in the Bunker is cleaned and organized, the bass loops on Shape have been recorded. I now find myself faced with a bit of "Now what?" Been procrastinating for so long that the next step has become obscured - lol.
There is plenty to be done today though. Reasonably-priced lodging has been secured for the weekend, and I now find myself poring over transportation options. A cab from the hotel to the venue is going to run around $50 by all accounts; there is a shuttle bus for half that, but it only stops in Midtown, which is some thirty-two blocks from our destination. And apparently the City That Never Sleeps also doesn't run their ferries on the weekends - what's up with that? Guess I check the city bus schedule next. I could always drive, too, but God only knows what parking is going to be like there. But hey - we're going, so I shouldn't complain too much :D
We may do whatever we like, providing we can pay the bill.

Have a great trip to the Big Apple! Been there several times and I find it overwhelming. Lots of traffic, lots of people, and lots of very tall buildings. I'd vote against driving ANYWHERE in the city - take a bus or the subway (if you can figure it out) and you will be a much happier camper.
ReplyDeleteDress rehearsal was tonight and I have to say that I never seen more unfocused people in my entire life....and these were the adults! Luckily there is a "small group ensemble" that will have mikes to sort of carry (or drown out) the rest of us. LOL
Have a great time!
I've spent enough time in Chicago that I can hopefully adapt without too much trouble - lol. I had briefly considered the subway too, but I figure since it's our first visit, why should I spend half of it underground? :D
ReplyDeleteHope your gig goes great!
