The trip actually started last night, even though we quite literally hadn't left home. One of my housemates organized for a bluegrass band to play at our place in Columbia Heights, and so we invited over a few dozen friends, bought some beer, cleared out the furniture, and welcomed Society of Strangers.
It was a rousing success - the band played two sets with a mix of new material and covers, including several Johnny Cash songs and a clever remix of Coldplay's "Yellow" (which they called "Yeller").
It was a fitting beginning to the real journey which, predictably, started about two and a half hours after Jackie's scheduled departure time this morning.
