Sep 2, 2013


We looked at the map in the morning and decided we would bike wherever we wanted to go today. We biked from Casey and Nathan's place to Samuel Adams Brewery. It was a good ride. We did the tour, smelled the hops, and tasted the beers. It starts to feel like I could give the tours myself after a while. The beer was great though.


We continued biking after the tour, taking a different route back along the river. That was was a beautiful ride. By the time we got back to the car we were both pretty beat, but we got showered and ready to go out for the night. We headed down to the Common and walked to the Wilbur Theater. I forgot that we had gotten the table seats right up front by the stage. They were a little awkward to sit out. I prefer a seat with a back, but the view was nice.


Megan Mullally opened the show, singing with her band. It was really funny and just fun. After several songs she introduced her husband, Nick Offerman, who came out shirtless, saying "Partial nudity was advertised. Partial nudity achieved." He talked about his favorite foods in the area and then mentioned how surprised he has been by the success of his tour considering he hasn't done anything like it before and no one "has any idea what the fuck I'm about to do!" He was characteristically dry and hilarious.


His show revolved around 10 lessons he has learned and wanted to pass on. Each lesson led into him telling hilarious and smart stories. He made a lot of commentary on people values, ethics, and relationships. Everything he said was wonderful and poignant. Well, most of it was poignant. I didn't want the show to end, and it did go on for quite a while before he finished it out with a song recapping all of the lessons in a wonderful way. I would highly recommend seeing his show to anyone who gets the chance.

After the show we got back on the road for a while and stopped at a Wal*Mart to sleep for the night.
