Martha Wainwright Day 4, New London, CT
Today sounds simple, but that's usually not the case now, is it? Tonight is a solo show at the I AM Festival in New London, CT, so it's just me and Martha, my car and a 2.5 hr drive. Or not.
My day started early as usual. I had to go in to Manhattan and pick up the van with all the gear and bring it back to Brooklyn for the night. I need it near me for tomorrow morning so I can avoid an extra 2hrs of travel then. The thing about being where I am is that every time you need to do something that involves Manhattan, you have to allow one hour. Pick up the van: 1 hr. Bring van to Brooklyn: 1 hr. Get car, gas: 1 hr. Guitars from van to car: 1 hr. So, just like that, a quick drive up the 95 has turned in to a 4 hr NYC marathon before we even left. I was only picking up Martha at 2pm, so I left my place at 8am...
So it all worked out. We made it to the festival, and it was wild. It was kind of like a hardcore/punk/emo festival. It was kind of small too. They had a hot dog vendor though, so the boss treated me. Nice.
The show was short and sweet. A few solo songs, the kids liked it, we sold some cd's by the side of the stage after and we headed out. We actually got back to Brooklyn around 11pm, which is by a longshot the earliest night I've had in weeks. It was awesome. Tonight, I sleep.
