King Crimson!

Tomorrow, I'm heading into NYC after work, to go see the band King Crimson at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. I'm looking forward to the show, I *believe* my ticket will be front row. If so, it'll be my second front row King Crimson experience.

My first front row experience with the Crimson King was in Boston in 2001. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame was opening for KC, although it was almost more of a co-headlining show, as JPJ played almost as long as KC did.

Crimson is a very *intense* band, and this lineup consists of Robert Fripp on guitar, Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Tony Levin on bass, and Gavin Harrison and Pat Mastelotto on drums.

I'll be sure to post a review of my thoughts on the show over the weekend. The band is actually playing 4 nights in NYC, but this is my only show.... Unless I become inspired to try to go to Friday's show too!

This Saturday, in non-KC related news, we start our Resident Assistant training for this year. The schedule has come together nicely, and I expect that we'll have a good week training, as we get ready for the arrival of students on campus on August 25th and 26th.

More later...
