i love the smell of elephant shit in the morning....

This blog is coming to you from the circus train. Super Steve came down to New York for a couple days, and yesterday we drove up to Boston where the show is.

I've never felt so strange about going back to something. I definitely missed it right after leaving, but being here again is making me miss it like crazy. It's been almost a year, and I feel like I never left. It was great to see everyone again, even the people that I never really cared if I saw again. I watched the show from FOH, realizing I still have the whole rig and all the cues memorized. Being on the train again is nice too....well, as "nice" as the train gets. After the show and some dinner I watched a movie with Steve and Neal. I am however staying in a room that is wayyyyyyy smaller than the one I lived in, so that's reminding me of how annoying this living situation is. Though I still miss not being more than 3 or 4 cars away from all of my friends and vestibule parties on train runs.

Still, this really is a second family; more than any other job, and even more than the people I spent hours and hours a day with in college. It's great to be back in this world again, even just for a couple days. No, I'm not going back. The one thing that is different is that most of my good friends are gone. The people that made this place livable, and a blast are what I really miss.

Well, it's time for more Boston exploration. And to go start taking pictures which is something I didn't do enough of while here.
