The only really sad sad thing about leaving Minneapolis has been leaving so many friends and family. We feel lucky that we have a few built-in friends here in New York, and seeing some of them in our first few days has made the transition a bit easier. Our good friend Mike Slagle (Jeremy's old college friend) and his girlfriend Arianne are in Williamsburg and treated us to homemade pizza and hangout time on their fire escape the first night we arrived. Another CVA friend, Heidi, just moved here from St. Paul a few weeks ago and also lives in our neighborhood. Mikey Bales, old UHQ fiddler, wanted to "show us Queens," but ended up just eating sushi with us in Greenpoint due to an unexpected closure of the G-train. And when we first arrived, the only actual social engagement on our calendar was going to see another old music friend, Susan Enan, play a show in Brooklyn. We have missed hearing Susan play live, and the show was fantastic. It was at a great bar in Williamsburg (Pete's Candy Store) that was packed with people watching the last night of the DNC on the TVs. We caught Al Gore before the music, and most of Obama after. It was sweet to be in a packed space full of people cheering along to his speech.
