Follow-up to Chicago/Europe Next
Dan left yesterday for GenCon, a role-playing gaming convention in Indianapolis, and he’ll be there until next Monday. Not sharing Dan’s enthusiasm for gaming, I opted to stay in Shakopee with Jake.
Since returning from Chicago, our inbox has been filled with emails from fellow Team Band members reflecting on their experience in Chicago and sharing a ton of photos. Today I received an email from Team Band’s director for our Opening Ceremonies performance on Soldier Field. She had written to all of the newspapers and media groups who covered the Opening Ceremonies, and her writings were published on Planet Out and Gay.com websites, and I thought I’d share them here:

Now, looking ahead…
Last week Dan and I booked our flights to London for our six-month trip through Europe. We fly out of Minneapolis-St. Paul on August 31. We have a list of about 10-12 countries and a few specific places that we’d like to visit, but no set itinerary. So, we’ve been busy doing research on where we’ll go and when, getting our finances in order, picking up a few last minute items to bring, and beginning to gather our gear, which will be packed into our approximately 40 liter backpacks.
I’m at the Shakopee library right now, and am on a one-hour time limit at this internet workstation, so I’ll close here so I can finish going through our emails and, then, check out the library’s travel section.

Great articles Tim. Thanks for sharing. I’m so happy that I was able to watch Team Band’s performance at Pritzker Pavillion. It was a fantastic concert!
I’m also excited that your plans are starting to form for Europe! It’ll be a blast. Are you planning on helping with a harvest on a farm?
Take care,
Mark
