Survived a week with E's parents, and a weekend with another set of E's relatives. I have Discharged my Newly Acquired Familial Obligations, for now anyway. Dear gord it is nice to be home and have home not have Other People in it.

Attempted to change a plane reservation only to discover that I'd made it right the first time. Go me. Speaking of which, I will be bumming around Boston from the evening of 10/15 (Satyrday) through the afternoon of 10/18 (Tuesday). I also have intentions of being in the DC area around Veterans' Armistice Rememberance Day: Dar concert Friday night, and probably ABG (with dim sum aforethought) on Satyrday, and other seeing of people as time and scheduling permit.

Today I mostly want to just fall over. Tomorrow I shall actually Accomplish something. Maybe tonight but I'm not holding my breath.

Dar concert? Where would that be?

(yay for surviving not-your-relatives)

At the Birchmere in Alexandria, 11/11. I don't know whether or not to recommend Dar's live shows these days, since I think her new stuff's not nearly as good as she was in the late-nineties/early-2000s and she mostly plays newer stuff, but she does some of the older stuff. (I will probably never hear "Mark Rothko Song" live, which makes me sad, although probably not as sad as the song makes me.) And it's far away and in an awkward place for you to get to, especially on a late Friday night. On the other hand, concert, and good people (I can vouch for two of the ones I know are coming, at least).

I suppose technically they /are/ my relatives now. Eep.

They may now be legally your relatives, but you're not *supposed* to have to get along with in-laws, particularly at the times when your spouse doesn't care much for them, either. (um, I keep telling myself this, anyway.)

What is the date on the Dar concert? I would love to see here again if she is in the area. And seeing you wouldn't be bad either. ;)

Concert's 11/11 (and 11/12 but I won't be there then), at the Birchmere in Alexandria. Would be fantastic to see you if you can make it!

Tickets acquired!

[jazzfish]

w00t! Will see you there!

If you'd like to get together when you're here in November, it would be good to see you. Maybe I'll get a ticket to that show. Never seen her.
