Minus-t Tour 2026 will be 4/16-5/16!
Current Plan - hop on the Coast Starlight on Thursday night, get to Portland or Seattle on Friday; maybe stay overnight, Empire Builder to Chicago, another possible overnight, City of New Orleans to NOLA hoping to arrive Wednesday 4/22
I have a room at Maison St Charles with 2 beds if anyone wants to come down and share a room
Lineup highlights include Jon Batiste, Big Freedia, Ani DiFranco, David Byrne, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Hornsby, Kermit Ruffins, Irma Thomas, Leftover Salmon and the New Orleans Klezmer All Stars (I decided on weekend 1 mostly because the timing is easier for me but I think I like the lineup better than weekend 2 also)
Leaving Monday morning 4/27 probably on the Crescent bound for New York, whether I will go the whole way or not, who knows? Passes through Atlanta, Spartanburg, Charlotte, DC, Baltimore, Philly, various other places.
I think I need to take this opportunity to ride an Acela to Boston, where I have never been
Which still leaves 5 or 6 segments to sort out, ideally getting home on or about 5/16. Maybe Montreal for bagels?
