I have a week off in June. Originally I was going to head out to Oakland for the National Homebrewers Conference, but instead I've been kicking around other destinations: back to Belgium, back to Germany, back to Montana for a It's-been-10-years-since-I've-been-to-Glacier-National-Park trip. But to keep things more economical, it looks like a trip in the Jeep up and down the eastern states is winning out.The initial mapping looks to log 1,675 miles in one week's time: Greensboro as the start with Cooperstown, NY as the furthest point. In between there's all sorts of possibilities: Kitty Hawk, Williamsburg, DC, Philadelphia. I had a preliminary itinerary in mind, and then BOOM! the first variant:
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is doing a small venue tour from June 8 to July 2. On Sunday and Monday June 14-15 he will be playing the beautiful Lyric Opera House in Baltimore. So naturally, since I am one to enjoy a concert or two, I snatched up a ticket for Monday's show. So Baltimore is now a confirmed date on my upcoming massive East Coast Swing.
Giddy.
I'll certainly be sure to pack my best flannel for the occasion.
Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Lo and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole
