Oh Noes!

The Smoking One and I are not usually good planners. We can get a few parts in motion early (say, for instance, concert tickets), but save all the minutiae (say, uh, what to do with the kids?) for the last crunch. Well, this time, it wasn't (the very) last minute and things were in place!

Tickets to The Decemberists/Laura Viers show at the 9:30 club in DC. Check!

Scouting out rad hotels in the area. Check!

Grandparent taking the kids overnight. Double check.

Day dreaming of being back in Dupont Circle. Check.

Ah, yes. Uncheck All.

We even had comped tickets from a band member to add to that hot shit we are getting out of town together without the spawn look at us with free tickets feeling.

Hmmm, the grandparent isn't on the internet much . . .
