My girlfriend and I hit the Sunday/Monday shows coming away obviously pleased. Our plan was to fly home today after seeing some old friends in the city and return excited and rejuvenated for the new year.

Except we live in Syracuse. We were convinced the current storm was gonna get our flight canceled but delta said “whatever man, let’s try it”.

They get the plane loaded and then three minutes later tell everyone to get off. 3 delays/hours later I just turn to her and was like “wanna just go to the show?”

Haul our ass back to the city, changing reservations and scrambling to buy last minute tickets, all the while thinking “is this going to be worth it? Are we being idiots?”

Friends, the answer to both questions is “yes”.

What a show, what a run, and what a story I will tell way too many times to my friends in the years to come.

Remember that you do sometimes get a return on the faith you provide.
