We went with our friends Alan and Bridget on a quick 24-hour road trip to see one of my favorite bands when I was in college, Hot Water Music. It’s honestly been years since I listened to them regularly.

I’m very much considering picking one up.
Here are a couple quick snaps from the show. I was standing far away, so they’re not great quality.
We also ate at a pretty great restaurant called Kitchen Social. I would definitely recommend. The cheddar and scallion biscuits were diabolically good. All in all a really great, but short getaway. Looking forward to doing something similar again soon.
