I'm so bummed that you can't go, Jag!


Gretchen, you should come in on Friday if you can, that way you can get to the Big E early on Saturday & enjoy the fair.

When is the NESP bday party again?  I have to go search for that post.
Right down the road from the hotels is a Boston Billiards.  That would be a hoot to go there & see how badly we can play pool.

Hello everyone,I am still in a trance after last nights spectacular concert in Torrington.A band called Alternate Route opened the show and I must say they were great and got the audience even more fired up for Taylor! After a short intermission Taylor took the stage to a thunderous applause,the audience was smokin and each fed off of the other.Taylor's vocals were right on the mark and the band was superb.They are so in tune with one another,it is amazing to watch them in action.Taylor's rendition of Compared To What was off the charts as was Dirty Low Down and Take The Long Way Home with the hot harp.The audience was a nice mixture of varied age groups and there were quite a few men.There were lots of signs and banners displayed by fans throughout this gorgeous theatre.When Taylor's set was over he left the stage to a standing ovation and deafening applause.Within a few minutes he returned to the stage with the lights dimmed per his request and lo and behold the harp and the intro to Take The Long Way Home,it was off the charts ! He ended the show with Soul Thing which was the perfect ending to a perfect evening !After the show Taylor  graciously ,signed all of our books and pictures at the buses,making sure he did so for everyone who waited there and did it with a smile.He is truly something else! I would say that Torrington loves Taylor Hicks and rightfully so the man is amazing!!

  Before the show we met up with some of the most wonderful people from NESP at Bogies,an adorable little restaurant across from the Warner Caryn,AllyKat,MaryMagdalin and her Dad,who is an absolute sweetheart and two other lovely ladies who I apologize to for forgetting names,I am getting a little senile.We had a wonderful time chatting and sharing dinner and taking pictures which I'm sure will be posted here soon.It is so nice to be able to put faces on the names.I want to thank all of you for sharing a wonderful night,it was my pleasure to be a part of it.I hope to be able to do it again in the future.One little side note,my daughter was absolutely blown away by Taylor,she is now a full fledged fan! One fan at a time huh?

So glad you had a good time!
The night was WAY too short though, dontcha think?
