Our day at the zoo went a little something like this:

12:00am: (NYC) Consume copious amounts of tequila at Johnny's Bar in the West Village. The occasion is an ongoing celebration of Ed Romanoff's birthday from the day before.
1:30am: We move the party over to the Spotted Pig.
2:30am: We take the party back to Ed's place. Champagne and guitars come out. We drink, play, and sing.
4:00am: We pack our things and leave for the airport.
6:25am: Fly to Cleveland, OH.
8:00am: We arrive in Cleveland and are now joined by the Weatherman. (He had gone home to VA for a couple of days)
8:50am: Fly to Toledo, OH.
9:40am: We arrive in Toledo. Exhausted. We are excited to get some rest but the hotel and its employees conspire against us and will not allow us to sleep. Construction, drilling, hammering, and attitude filled the air of the Riverfront (formerly Crowne Plaza) Hotel.
1:00pm: Frustrated, tired, and hungry, our new friends at the hotel suggest there is fantastic Italian food around the corner. We go. It's not Italian, it's actually "Greek". Lovely people at this joint but the food, well let's just say there are lovely people there.
2:00pm: I return to the hotel in yet another attempt to get some sleep before sound check. The rest of the gang is on a mission to find something sweet. Tricked by McDonald's signs that lead to a boardroom meeting, they fail to find dessert; I also fail to get any sleep due to the symphony of construction sounds accompanying the hotel room.
6:00pm: Soundcheck.
7:00pm: Show is canceled due to thunderstorms.
8:00pm: Dinner at a "Mexican" restaurant, the place gets valid.
9:00pm: With brown paper bags for umbrellas, we make out way over to another restaurant for martini's and dessert.
10:00pm: Wedding crashers Leshay, Weatherman, and myself pose as BMW hubcap designers in town for a convention.
12:00am the next day: Our charade works well but we deny the prize and decide to get some rest.

Until next time,
Kenny Bloggins
