Hello Buffistas! I am back from a blissful week on the JoCo Cruise. We ate a lot of pretty good food and saw Mr. Coulton, Paul & Storm,Jim Boggia, Mike Phirman, Aimee Mann, Sammus, Tuneyards and Jill Sobule sing, the McIlroy Brothers, Ophira Eisenberg, Solomon Georgio and Aparna Narnchala do comedy, John Scalzi and Charlie Jane Anders do readings. It was so nice to to O.D. on culture, something we can't really do here in Michigan. There is lots of culture, but it's spread out over the year.
The big land concert in Puerto Rico was rained out before the main event, They Might Be Giants, could play. They managed to get a lot of the equipment inside over the next hour and then had a short ad hoc concert on the boat. Both J and I had gotten SOAKED in the rainstorm and were dried off and in bed in our cabin when the news of the concert came out. I wore my jammies and slippers ( nothing like going to an event on a boat) and we were right at the edge of the stage for the whole performance of our favorite band. It was great.
Also met many cool people, played some board games and played a Galaga game with my spouse at a table next to Wil Wheaton. We loved the cruise and have already signed up for next year.
