I have to admit, my only legitimate reference point for the city of Boston comes from TV: Cheers, the Celtics, the Red Sox. Two out of those three entities listed I absolutely cannot stand. I grew up a Lakes and Yankees fan so to say that I was a bit biased regarding the Boston area is a bit of an understatement.
Since Massachusetts is Dana Cheung’s back yard, we all agreed that she should close the show. I opened followed by Dan Altimus. During my set, I debuted the piece “the disastrous hobby of counterfeiting Oswald’s ghost” from my upcoming book “Base Jumping at Taughannock Falls” that will be published later on this year by Ghosts For Valhalla Press. I had to leave shortly after the reading to catch a flight back to Pittsburgh for a set of meetings on Sunday so my Boston experience was a bit brief.
As with the hosts from the other shows we have done on this tour, the Boston crew was very welcoming as well as generous. Even to this 50-year-old Lakers/Yankees fan.
Until next time Boston.
