A Cold Night In Thebes

John said it best, "Tonight's gonna be a cold night in Thebes -- use it."
The wind was chilly, the sand felt like it was laced with ice chips, all our bodies were bloodless and cold...

And tonight was one of our best shows. Hands down.

Tomorrow we close. It's been a great run. A success all around. Hell, with our profit sharing and the number of people we've had in our audiences -- we might even make out with a little $15 check -- (maybe not enough to make up for parking - but still a victory). Not a bad gig.

It's going to be kinda sad. It always is.

Everybody was on tonight - it was beautiful - it felt great. At one point John even gave Christain a Michael Corleone-style-Fredo-I-knew-it-was-you-and-it-broke-my-heart-kiss. Badass.

On the way back to our cars, Sarah (2nd Messenger) and I crashed the Green Day concert at The TD Waterhouse. Sort of. We stood near an open door and listened to a few songs. Kinda a free concert, even if it was freezing by then. Fun, though.

Then I got home, took the second to last hardcore shower I'll have to take, watched the mud and the mess slip down the drain, put on some pajamas and a long sleeve shirt, and settled into the rest of my evening.
