I've had a couple days to let it sink in so...

The National was great. It is really that simple. They were great at playing their instruments, they were great at playing the songs, they were great at involving the audience, they were great at everything. I had such high expectations for them and they met every one of them. I was talking to my brother Josh the next day and he took the words out of my mouth when I was trying to explain how good they were. He said that they could be playing all day every day and I would never get tired of watching them... Exactly!!! I'm all in with these guys. Such professionals, such showmen, such entertainers. I want to see them again, and again, and again for good measure. If you get the chance to catch one of their shows, you are fortunate. Have fun on the 17th Grace. I can't wait to hear what you think. That's all...
