Well, fall is here. I think that’s noteworthy since I haven’t written since like… last fall, haha. I am super-excited for our upcoming tour of Ireland, as you can well imagine. Things have been pretty busy both with the band and with all the other stuff going on in my life, so I have to eventually sit down and get sorted for this trip! Haven’t even begun to think about it…
This past weekend I got some time off and went back to Pittsburgh for a family wedding. It was pretty awesome. There were over 350 people at this thing! I don’t think it was big enough! ;o) It was great to see my cousins, aunts, uncles and everyone else. I am kinda sad because this was the last family wedding on the books; there is nothing planned at this point to get back and see everyone. I guess we’ll have to figure out how to plan a family reunion! Since I’m the oldest of the generation, I guess that falls to me. Guess what’s not going to get planned? haha
Anyway, much beer was consumed and it was a great time.
Like I said, can’t wait for Ireland! We leave in like three weeks. Ouch. SO much to do! I have to design/order T-shirts for all the travelers, figure out what to bring (well, what NOT to bring really–I like to travel light), and actually look up my flights and put them in my calendar. Haven’t really done any of that.
The Weston Irish Festival was this past weekend. I didn’t go obviously but Cody and Reverse Cowboy were there. I hope the weather was good for them–last time we played that one, it was literally 37 degrees Fahrenheit when we took the stage. That wasn’t a ton of fun.
Let’s see, what else is going on… The Penguins are in town here in Minnesota tonight to play the Wild. Guess who’s going?! That should be a great time, despite the Pens being without Crosby, Malkin, Tyler Kennedy and a host of other good players. Still, always good to see NHL hockey live.
That’s about it for me right now people! Good to be back in MN–we play O’Donovan’s this weekend, and then I play solo at the Dubliner Sunday. Definitely different than WCB so if you’re out and want a change, come say hello! More later; maybe even within the next six months! Haha Cody and I will be doing some video blogs from Ireland, so check those out for sure.
Later gators.
