It always takes me a while to post. When I get home, I have so much to catch up with. The trip to Oakland was fantastic, and I want to thank Ingrid and Isaac for everything. I was front row both nights with other smiters and front row exact center the second night, thanks again to Ingrid and Isaac. Marvelous shows both nights. I love CBC, but I love IUTC also. I can't criticize a single thing, because it's so great just to be there. Marbletown keeps evolving--new things every tour.
I feel very lucky to have been in Oakland for the concert. Seats were almost impossible to get, and thanks to friends, there I was. The only thing I would change would be for Shangri-La and Allen, from the Pacific Rim Group to be there with us. They haven't gotten to see Mark for years and years. Allen--maybe never?
I got to talk to John McCusker for a moment. That is a sweet memory.
