And - here's hoping the Girls Against Boys and Circle Jerks/7 Seconds/N.A. and Verbal Assault shows aren't cancelled.
1.) 7 Seconds is playing? I missed that. Cool, glad to see the boys peeking out from that sad retirement cloud.
2.) Moving: Yeah, it's a total pain sometimes, but I'll be providing the opposite view -- I'd welcome the chance to strip it all down, start over fresh. We plan on getting rid of every stick of furniture, sell/donate/burn-in-place anything extraneous, donate all the old pots and pans and decor, and just go minimalist in a shiny, modern, new place sometime soon.
I don't know if it'll be the same area of the country I'm in now, or somewhere else (I kinda retired maybe five years ago, so I'm not tied down to anywhere in particular), but the thought of freeing oneself from the materialistic dross you acquire over the years, packing up a small van with a couple trinkets and guitars, and getting a new place sounds wonderful right now.
So I'd look forward to that.
3.) Travel. Looking forward to international travel again. Can't wait for places to open up so I can get back on to exploring this great world. I had a trip to Thailand and Budapest all planned out rigggghht before everyone decided to shut the globe down, had to cancel everything. I guess I could still pop over to Phuket and quarantine for 10 days, but nothing's open/fun right now, so not worth it, even though -plus side- crowds are
super down. I've been visiting a ton of National Parks, exploring cool rural American places for the past 2 years, hiking around the mountain states CO, ID, UT, NM, WY, etc... flew to different corners of Florida five times to explore, got BBQ in Texas a few times... (even snuck behind enemy lines into California to hike Joshua Tree NP!), the Dakotas, New Orleans, etc... but I miss my favorite cities like Sydney, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hong Kong, etc.
Truly can't wait to see if they open in 2022, or if those days of freedom are over for good.
