My friend Robert Zimmerman

Just got home from the Bob Dylan concert at Ottawa bluesfest. I have SO much to say (I was crafting a post in my mind's eye during different points of the concert. So, dear readers (all three of you) fear not I will post on this soon - it will involve themes, wit, pictures, and maybe even a video!

Aside from standing 2 people back from the stage at U2, I have never felt so perfectly content ... in fact, I don't even think I can compare them. Had I been older than like 6 or 7 I would have died a thousand times to have seen the Rattle & Hum tour concerts when Bob Dylan sang with U2. Sigh, if only. I guess never say never. I was never supposed to have seen U2 or Bob Dylan. I'm so amazingly privileged and I need to try to remember this at all times.

Good night, and more tomorrow! (I'm sure you'll be waiting on the edges of your seats, pft).

Oh and I just got this nice e-mail from a guy named Craig who was standing with us (so nice! note to self: send Craig pictures) with the set list which he diligently recorded. I asked for it (though I could find it later online) as I'm always leaving concerts and everyone is like what did they/he/she play? Me: I dunno man, but, it was awesome. Not tonight, hazzah!
