I saw They Might Be Giants again, after many years (maybe 2007 was the last time?) and it was certainly an adventure. My sister planned the trip which meant I got to relive what it was like to travel like I was 22 again. I kept up surprisingly well considering I've gotten used to traveling in style instead of the shoestring hostel and couch crashing days, lol.

We were on a Bolt Bus to Philly a little after 1 on Saturday, then walked from the 30th St. train station to Center City where our hotel was. After a great dinner at Barbuzzo, where we sat watching the kitchen work, it was back to the hotel to wait out a rain shower. Then we started walking to the Theater of the Living Arts on South Street. And walking. And walking. It had to be at least 2 miles, and general admission was standing of course so we were on our feet and moving for four hours in a row.

TMBG rocked as always and I realized that they've been touring for just about 30 years and still could put on a three hour show with a half hour intermission! It was absolutely awesome and a great mix of classic and new songs. We Ubered back to the hotel since it was pouring when we got out (first time I've ever used an Uber), slept, brunched at Reading Terminal Market and then back to 30th St. for our Bolt Bus back to NYC on Sunday.

A little over 24 hours later I was back in my apartment marveling at how much we managed to do in a single day. I often forget just how much can be done since inertia has become such a part of my life and it was a great reminder that I'm still capable of doing things like this with the proper motivation. Thank you sister, and TMBG FTW!
