Martha Wainwright Day 5, Northampton, MA

I slept for a little while last night. It was good, but as usual, 8am wakeup call for yours truly. We have a 4 hr drive to Northampton, MA, today, and once you factor in my pickup schedule and driving through Brooklyn...

It was a relatively painless trip I suppose. Highlights include homemade guacamole courtesy of the guitarist. Nice. We even ended up getting in a little early, so we got set up fast and everyone went to explore the neighbourhood, freeing me up to do some work.

Tonight was another one of those dinner-type shows. The Iron Horse is a well-known signer-songwriter type venue, tables and chairs everywhere, and an audience that's happy to be there. It made for a really good show, but again, no time to hang out afterwards. We had to make the drive back to NYC. Ouch.

I didn't even notice what time it was when I got home, but it was close to 3 am for sure. As tonight was the last full band show, everyone took their gear with them, so I didn't have to worry about secure parking, but it took me about an hour to find street parking near my place. When you're within striking distance of your front door, that really hurts...
