I rode to Wilco last night. They were awesome! I almost didn't go because it looked like rain (it was outdoors) but I am so glad I went. The rain just made it more fun. They are so good live. So much fun.

Biking to the concert was great. Bike Newport had a kiosk set up with a repair shop. Bike parking was plentiful and safe. There were a lot of bikes! After the show, they were passing out free lights, but I was already looking like a Christmas tree, so I didn't take one. A lot of people came without lights, and it was already almost 10 pm when the band stopped playing, and totally dark, so they were really lucky.

Leaving the venue was a little nerve racking because it was really crowded. I decided to go the long way home to avoid the traffic. It was pitch dark and there are no street lights for much of the way, but I know every crack in the pavement of this route. With the music still fresh in my blood, the dark ride was dreamlike. Not being able to see much more the the spot of light in front of me, the feeling of the ride was still so familiar. It was really cool.

I missed the lbs ride this morning because I wasn't waking up at 5 am, but I rode to work. Made it home before the rain, but it was so humid it didn't matter.
