Church Street

Walking up Church Street in downtown Burlington, Vermont, on the cusp of the annual Jazz festival...the culture in this little town is plentiful. The street reminded me a little of the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, but with a much better vibe.

I was first impressed with Vermont when they legalized civil unions and became a pioneer in the fight for gay marriage. I had never been there before, but I knew I would feel at home. Both Montpelier and Burlington were brimming with culture and friendly people. I look forward to booking some more shows in the area, so we have an excuse to go back. Who knows? Maybe we'll stay a while.

We drove 16 hours yesterday to get back to Indianapolis. It was exhausting, but it was nice to wake up here instead of another hotel. I still have mixed emotions around being in this city. In the spirit of Forrest Gump...that's all I have to say about that.

Viva Vermont!
