SHARING THE SHOWS
Those people on my Facebook page know that I have this running gag where I make lame jokes and then laugh at them for extended periods of time (10 minutes, usually). It all started in December 2017, during a particularly hectic finals week during my time as a professor at Hampton University. Students would be panicking about exams, and I joked that there was “widespread panic” on campus. I have a new though. The best way to prevent widespread panic is to LISTEN to Widespread Panic (WSP, or WSMFP). And to see them. Hahhahahahhaah…hahahahhahahhah…eh?
The boys were originally supposed to play a five-show Beacon Theatre run last September, but the Delta Variant ruined that. They postponed it to January; I had a 3-day weekend for MLK, so I decided to purchase Saturday and Sunday night (never miss a Sunday show). Omicron ruined THAT, so they postponed to July. I’m off during the summer, so why wouldn’t I go to all five shows? I arrived in the Big Apple at about 3, and after unpacking and napping in my Airbnb, I bopped around the Upper West Side (UWS) and found a Thai restaurant. After this, a nice walk in Central Park, where I happened upon some pigeons (“Pigeons” is a WSP song). Once inside, I got to the balcony and chatted with a pair of dudes, Mark and Lou, who had ventured up from Knoxville. “I have no responsibilities other than a job so I can do this,” Mark said. I hear you, brother. The childfree life is the one for me.
