This post concludes this part of the tour for me. The guys had another few nights on the road in this leg, but I was done. And also, I was home…

Day 6 – New York City

After the Philly show, the tour made its way to Delaware, but I chose to break off at that point and head home. A really great friend was in town for only a couple days and I really wanted to see her. It was a good a decision, we had a blast, plus I kind of left the road on a high note – the Philly show was phenomenal.

So, fast-forward a day to the NYC gig. I went for drinks with a friend before the show, and we were running a bit late, so I missed the opening number. The gig was fairly good, not the best I had seen them though. It was probably my least favorite stop on the tour.

Afterwards I hung out ran into some more old friends and road acquaintances. We all chatted for a long time afterwards, with ourselves and with the band. It was a good night, low-key – a good way to wind down an exciting road trip. The band loaded out onto the bus. We said our farewells and then I turned to walk home and their bus pulled out into the night.
