After the hardest and most stressful drive getting to a gig due to unheard of traffic between Boston and New Haven, Derek and I arrived at Cafe Nine frazzled and dazed but excited to play in our home town for friends and family.  The rest of the band arrived even later, so the whole evening begun super late.  This meant that much of that audience needed to leave before we were finished, unfortunately. However, many positive things came out of the evening - a chance to play for a hometown crowd, some great photos taken by Audra Napolitano and a late-night binge fest at Mammoun's with the band - all priceless and well worth the travel hassle.
