Hotel was OK. for what I needed and the price vs amenities, it was pretty good.
Lyft worked out great. outgoing driver was early, return drive was there within THREE MINUTES of opening the app. 5 stars all around.
Great venue (minus the parking), amazing staff, and more accessible than I thought it would be.
Good opener - John Harvie. young & energetic and rockin'
BTE - everything I could've imagined! wasn't on the floor, but the band did photos & stuff after, so it's all good.
Tom, the bassist, CALLED ME BY NAME (a very confident "you're Cyd!" and a handshake as I stumbled through "I am!" as a reply) before I could introduce myself. I do have a few selfies on Instagram, and that's the majority of our (business) interaction.
my snarky cat tshirt made me SO MANY FRIENDS, and even the band reacted to it.
super expensive night, but WORTH IT.
deets later when I've had some sleep. and I stop obsessing over Tom immediately knowing who I was and have the updated details on our business transaction.
