Our Japan trip concluded with my longest Thursday ever, about 32 hours. While there were a couple naps involved, I managed to stay up for Marky Ramone’s Holiday Blitzkrieg at the Gramercy Theatre, and a night cap. If it wasn’t for the show, I would have crashed by 5:30 PM.

The Marky Ramone show was a blast. They played pretty much non-stop for over an hour and a half. That’s a lot of songs when most of them are in the sub two minute range. It was great to see a lot of mature fans in the audience. By that, I mean (well) over forty, which includes me. Keep on rocking folks. And, thanks to Kenny for the ticket!

Now I’m preparing myself for what awaits at work after three weeks out of the office. Should be fun!

  Good for Guinness. I just hope they don’t over-invest in increased production facilities only to find themselves with debt and excess capacity when the influencers and the influenced move on to the next fad.
