Very quietly, the students filed out at the end of the last class. A small but powerful group, they will do well.

Now, I wait until January to meet the next group and see what stories they shall see.

An amazing evening Georgia Theatre as an all star band played Big Star’s 1972 #1 Record all the way through. Centered around original drummer Jody Stephens, Pat Sansone (of #Wilco), Jon Auer (of #thePosies), Mike Mills (of @rem) and Chris Stamey (of #thedbs) were joined by others (including Bill Berry). The craftsmanship of the original record was matched by the performance – this felt like a band that’s been playing together for years. (This may also have been the first show in a very long time where @profjoewatson and I were amongst the youngest members of the audience …)

The dismantling of our bridge/parking lot continues with the old tracks being cut up.

Early morning check-in.

A little new color outside of one of our favorite dives.

Headed east to go see a friend, as the sun broke over the treeline is vaporized the frost. Eerie.

Had to run to campus so I took a look at the bridge-parking lot from below.

It did not calm me.
