Almost there

The reception went well last night. A worked all the way up to the end to make sure all was complete, and the several students really were of great help in the final hours. The crowd was large and enthused, and the piece looks really nice. Dinner was really pleasant and the post celebration at WG's was necessary. It was nice to get one more gig in before departing.

Classes are over, now it's assessment, photodoc, and god knows what else through next week. I need to finish my paintings for the fall before I leave, and I'm in pretty good shape to do that. Let's cross our fingers.

Angela bought some tour books so we can plot our lowcounty/rhine/swiss journey to Lacoste. I've definitely reserved a car in Strasbourg so we'll be driving during the second week. It gives us more flexibility.

We're going to miss A and J. They leave on the 7th. Hopefully we can get him to come in again sometime. They were both super nice and it was a great experience working with him. The band appreciates dedicated fans. Speaking of, we have a few European gigs booked already, one in Leyden and one in Antwerp for sure, more will follow.

The kids are antsy for summer. Angela has reserved a dog. All is normal.
