In the middle of a very busy work day. I managed to squeeze in two really fun things.. and both involved my friend Ryan’s band Guster. At 2:30, about 60 of us gathered at the old Moran Plant.. a decommissioned electric generation plant down on lake Champlain’s  shore. It’s been empty for nearly 3 decades, now an enterprising group of folks are trying to turn it into a city resource.

The idea today was for the band to play a short set.. so we all donned hard hats and shuffled inside. It was so excellent. The music was great, the setting was bizarrely beautiful and the crowd was in tune . Really, really fun !

frifreindhillary helped organize the whole thing and filmed it as well

fade forward another 4 hours.. we went and saw Guster again at a sold out show at higher ground. I love their songwriting and their harmonies.. i love ryas goofy loose moves.. and i really love the drummer who uses his hands to play !

lots of friends there.. totally great scene

thanks to Ryan, the band and Hillary for setting up such a fun day of stuff.. Thanks o the Moran plant staff  for the use of their excellent space !

thanks to the pillow awaiting my head on the bed.. i’m too tired to stay awake one more second.

Nite all, nite sam
