Hosive

its a new tradition for us in the fall…a concert at the charming rumsey playfield in central park. this time with counting crows and their traveling circus of bands. the venue is very intimate and outdoors to boot with a gentle breeze, the sunset, the swaying trees and a sublime, satisfied vibe that embraces the last moments of the summer, anticipating the cooler fall. a great way to welcome my favorite season.

here we are treated to a few songs not on the setlist tonite as a pre-show. a nice thank you for people who showed up early.

my boy, justin brought me to the general admission show and in exchange i passed on my secrets to lining up, sizing up the line, crowd and venue….getting us into the front row. this was the closest that justin has ever been to one of his favorite bands. he is shocked that this was possible! glad to show others how we roll.

i had a great time hanging out and listening to a few bands that i don’t normally get to hear. it was a spectacle as three bands often performed together, doing each other’s songs and having a good time performing. the downside, of course, is that we came to see counting crows…and wished there was more of them and less of the others.

we wrapped up the night with a trip to the shake shack. a great warm up to things to come…..
