Just got back from a ten day trip to New York, and I got to do many things. I'm sharing a little bit on Facebook, a little on YouTube, and a little here.I wanted to blog about Andre Henry's concert at Sugar Bar in New York, New York because I was afraid to make the trip by myself. I wasn't scared of the city. I was scared of getting lost on the subway...again.
So this is me and Andre in the photo. A picture of triumph for me, a picture of "Are we going to get the shot right this time?" for him.
I had asked my friend Ralf to go with me. I asked my one of my cousins, and I was waiting that night for another cousin to show up at church to ask her to go with me. One of my aunts was suggesting that she could drive me, but really didn't want to.
Then I remember hitch-hiking to Sturgis in 2004. I remembered how everything just worked out. That situation was way more extreme and God brought me home, so I lollygagged a little and finally went to the subway. I had my Blackberry and the Google Maps app to guide me...until I made the mistake of pushing the back button. Ooops! No directions anymore.
I was distraught for a couple of minutes until I remembered that I could still read emails. I had saved Andre's email in my mailbox which happened to have the directions to Sugar Bar. The directions were kind of vague, but I remembered my cousin had showed me to how to read the subway map a couple of days prior. Lesson you've probably heard 1000 times: do what you're afraid of.
Here's some embarrassingly poor I took video of Andre performing:
Oh and don't forget to check Andre's best stuff out at: http://www.andrehenrymusic.com
If you live in NYC you're lucky, 'cause you can go to his shows.
