G for Guy

I'm back in New Zealand. My trip to California was fun but very tiring. Sleeping on sofas for a week will do that to me.

I scheduled my return for Friday, the 3rd of November, but Matt was recording a show in Wellington that Friday night. Or so I thought, because he was actually recording two shows with another on Saturday. I changed my flight to New Zealand so that I'd be in Wellington on the 3rd and leave early on Sunday, the 5th. Both shows were a lot of fun and I sold merchandise. As you can see, I got a tee shirt. I only sold 2 shirts for both gigs. Since I flew out early Sunday, I stayed up all night after the Saturday show. If I knew about the Saturday show, I'd have taken a later plane to Christchurch.

Wellington had fireworks on Saturday night for Guy Fawkes Day. I can't figure out why this is a holiday. I had a room in backpackers to get away from the craziness of the concert prep and I watched the fireworks from there. Sunday night Margee and I went to the fireworks at the New Brighton pier in Christchurch. The show was well suited for the venue, because they launched fireworks from the side of the pier into the water.
