When Alex Told Me “We’re going to New York!!!” [Excerpt]

This is an excerpt from the CLUB Missive sent on March 14, 2023

I wanted to first and foremost thank everyone who took a few minutes to answer last week’s Club Missive. It was very inspiring to read what music means to you and to discover which songs were significant to you! Music, such as life, is so rich, limitless, and powerful beyond measure! Every time I’m in a concert venue, I like to look around me and see what kind of people this artist gathers, and I always think about how only music can bring all those different people together. I didn’t have the time to answer you yet, as it’s been quite a busy week in New York, but my answers will come at some point! Let’s keep this conversation open and as I go deeper into reading the Elephant 6 book, I’m sure more questions will come to mind! 🙂

The rain just stopped, and I decided to add a New York soundtrack to this day with some Beastie Boys in my headphones! I love this band and Alex does too! I have never seen them live – shame on me!

I have walked a lot since I arrived here earlier this week. I decided not to take the subway and to walk to my different meetings in pretty much every part of the city, and it was during one of these walks that I walked past Hotel Chantelle – very close to where I am right now – which is where we first played in New York back in October 2014!
