Whistling all the way down to see Andrew Bird

The boys and I saw Andrew Bird last week in his first concert here in Santa Fe. The shows at The Lensic always sound great and this was no exception. As we walked back to the car after the show, Owen commented on how his ears weren't ringing like they were after we saw Rush, and I could hear what he was saying perfectly well. I now have a strong preference for seeing quieter artists in smaller venues, and this show reinforced this bent further.

Opening night of Rush's Time Machine Tour

Submitted by chad on

It's been a long time, about 17 years, since I last saw my favorite band. I sort of lost touch with them after becoming a husband and a parent. Their tours have stopped in New Mexico, so I don't have a good excuse for missing them during recent tours. I could go on about my Rush hiatus, but I think I'll save that for another post.

One of my son's friends came over one day about a year ago sporting a Vapor Trails tour t-shirt. His mom had taken him to see the show, how cool is that? This was the seed germinated with the news that Rush was to open their time Machine Tour in Albuquerque.

So we went and we had a blast. This was the set from Ryan's and Owen's first real rock show, Rush! Also, pictures!

Forgot that this site existed

Wow, I almost forgot that this site existed, despite adding it to my Facebook profile. It's probably quite obvious that this site hasn't been updated in a long, long time. The photo album is broken too.

Well, no promises, but I'll try to get thing fixed and updated by year's end. In the meantime, look me up Amy and I on Twitter (mangoblossom, ckieffer), Facebook, or LinkedIn.
