Update 2 of 3: we're crazy but we're doing it anyway
For quite a number of years now, I've been listening to Oysterband - a UK-based folk-rock-or-something group that's been around for over 25 years now, making great music. They're very, very good, and apparently they put on an amazing live show. I've never had a chance to see them live - they haven't come to California in a very long time, and it's been a few years since they've even made it to North America. I've been over to England a few times, and each time I've checked their tour schedule and found that they're either not touring, or are touring Sweden, or Germany, or...
I really, really want to see them play.
They're coming to North America.
Vancouver.
That's not so far away from us, right? It's only a 2-hour flight...
So Mona and I are going to fly up to see them when they play in Vancouver in April. We're flying out on Saturday, seeing the show Saturday night, and flying back Sunday. That's pretty crazy, but it gets crazier: instead of flying the kids up too, and sticking them in a hotel room with a strange babysitter, we're flying a babysitter in. We've bought a plane ticket so that Mona's mother can fly across the continent and look after the kids while we're gone. She'll be here a day or two on either side, but it's still pretty crazy.
Whee!
