sam_gamgeeWell, I actually got home at 12:30, and it's a few minutes after that.
Going up to Philly to see Carbon Leaf was *so* totally worth it.
For one thing, I got to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
libralite and have, an albeit quick, dinner with her. I haven't seen her in months, so it was really good to see her and do a quick catch-up. And I got to give her her Christmas present. :-D
The opening act for Carbon Leaf was The Alternate Routes. I'd never heard of them before, but they were good. And their lead guitarist, Eric, made me think of Paul McCartney (both in looks and the fact that he's a really good guitarist). I had to laugh when I realized thatlibralite and I had seen their bassist outside on our way in. (It's hard to miss the mop of red hair.)
Carbon Leaf was *amazing*. They played a lot of stuff off of Indian Summer and Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat - which is good, since those were the two I had. Yes, were. I bought the newest one, plus the older ones they had for sale afterwards. :-P (I'm suresemijocund will be proud of me.) And I loved that Jon brough his upright bass with him (especially since it's taller than he is). And as good a guitarist as Eric of Alternate Routes was, I think Carter was better. And Barry's voice is amazing too (it sends shivers down my spine at times and does things to me).
Okay, I'm stopping now because I can feel myself moving dangerously close to babble territory.
I am thisclose (maybe even closer) to going to see them in Dewey on Friday. But a few factors are going to have to be taken into account. One being that I have to work on Saturday and they're going on later on Friday (but don't have to be in until 10). Also, it's graduation weekend for UD. *And* it's going to be a NASCAR race weekend in Dover. We'll see.

I've seen them do an acoustic song every once and a while. It's always awesome to see though.
TRB leaves in January, so the next one is scheduled for 2010. I'm already booked, it's basically sold out. This will be my fifth one and I don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon :) But, if you decide you ever want to go, just let me know and I can find a spot for you. It always sells out quickly, but since I know a fair number of people that go, one of them usually has a spot open.
