Good concert. It was an odd feeling, though, watching the footage of devastated areas between sets. I kept thinking "Man, I just can't imagine that destruction, I've never seen anything like it." and then realizing that I had, actually- the afternoon of October 30th when we got back to our house. The support we got from around the country in our neighborhood was great, from hot lunches brought in by the Norwalk Fire Department for a week, to a group of professional remediators that came in as part of a church group from Tennessee. Our house sustained a low amount of damage compared to others in the neighborhood who got damaged, but even still we're out of the house until April at least. It's tough to wrap our head around the concept of "loosing everything." Fortunately, we didn't, and this ends up qualifying a major inconvenience for us, but we got lucky (hearing one of the celebrities say they lived in Westchester and lost power for 9 days really brought tears to my eyes).
Long way of saying I watched the concert, and wished I'd been drinking something other than water, but I wasn't...
