Day 27 of 28, Chicago, Illinois
Day 27 of 28. Although the concerts are over, the tour continues. We came to Chicago for a business meeting. We had some fruitful conversation. I think things are, again, moving to the place where I couldn't even imagine a year ago. We will be busier.
Two hours of sleep, four & half hour drive to Chicago then seven and half hour drive from Chicago. Ha-ha. The strength of real traveling musician is needed today. Let's suck it up and just keep on going. See you tomorrow.

All 20 concerts are done!
It’s done. It was long, it was tough, but I endured the tour. 20 concerts and insane hours of driving. I am totally aware of the fact that touring musicians don’t have luxury to have completely off-day but we really didn’t have much time especially on this tour. Anyway the concert part is over. Phew.
Going back to Boston. I have to go home now otherwise my head is going to explode.
It’s 4am, and I’ve got to get up at 6:30. I am going to hit the sack now because 12-hour drive ahead of us today. Oh well.

Fox Theatre in McCook, Nebraska
Good afternoon,
We played in Fremont, Nebraska last night, stayed in Lincoln then today we came to Mc Cook! You don't believe this but Mc Cook is being attacked by heatwaves and it is 82F (28C) right now!! This is awesome! BTW, the weather forecast said that the day after tomorrow would be snow and subzero temperature in here! Ha-ha-ha!! I love the chaos of Midwest! My kind of place!
Day 25, the last four days of the tour include insane amount of driving. Almost there!
