It really is! Bonus: wandering home to use the facilities rather than the PortaPotties!

Hope your PIC gets to the turnaround soon…and yours is a false alarm.
I know you know the routine.. Oscillo and keep your throat warm
Also…slice ginger and lemon into raw local (if possible) honey. Let steep in the fridge overnight. Use liberally in tea and water. I have several friends who swear its better than prescription meds foe aoothing a sore throat and cough. (Including a gal pal who fronts a couple of bands. I taught her how to make it after she strained her voice after an album drop)

Thankfully, I only had to deal with congestion. My voice wasn’t as strong as I would’ve liked it to be, but the acoustics in the church we played helped 
As for festive drink & foods, no bublé was opened, and I had a shitty Caesar & my PIC a boring chicken noodle soup at the bar we went to.
Eh.

Great double bill. YLT…One of my all-time favorite bands. I’ve always wanted to catch one of their NYE gigs. And I love Luna/Galaxie 500. Lunapark is always in my current rotation and I regularly sing “Anesthesia” at a high volume in my car.

It was a pretty awesome show (I’ve seen both bands a bunch of times over the years - Galaxie 500 too - I’m old lol). Luna did a Velvet Underground cover (Femme Fatale) and Television cover (Marquee. Moon). At the end Luna and YLT played together for about five songs, bunch of great covers - Season of the Witch, What Goes on, Going Down the Road.

So this is what a plate full of good luck looks like in the American South:
Fresh blackeyed peas simmered with smoked pork ladled over brown rice, with greens* and cornbread.
Blackeyed peas represent corn and plenty
Greens represent cash
Pork is also good health and plenty. Always pork because hogs forage moving forward. Never poultry because turkeys and chickens move backwards.
Rice for always having a full belly
Yellow cornbread for gold
*greens are actually kale sauteed in olive oil with loads of garlic. Im not a big enough fab of collards to hope to eat the enormous bags and bundles they were sold in this year…but the small bundle of kale was enough for several meals.
