Holding Steady in Birmingham, AL

So, I’m sitting on a couch that’s covered in pillows and blankets that were used this morning during the few hours of sleep I managed after 5am.  I think the weekend messed up my ability to sleep like a normal human being or maybe it just messed me up.

Either way, it’s over.  I’m now in Columbus, Ohio.  There’s an upcoming wedding.  I have little to say about it or Columbus or about anything in general, but there was the weekend, the weekend where Hector and I flew from Denver, CO to Birmingham, AL to see The Hold Steady.  Like we’re a couple of college kids. Like we don’t even remotely know how to act like adults.

Did anything amazing or life-altering happen?  Nope.  We pretty much just drank too much, saw a sweet show, and met some new friends.  So what’s the point?  I don’t know.  I’m really really tired and thought maybe I’d do a public service announcement kind of deal about Birmingham.  The announcement is real simple:  Birmingham is actually pretty cool.
