Lucero rocks Lady Liberty

Last night we watched Justin Townes Earle (son of the legendary Steve Earle) and Lucero aboard a cruise down the Hudson river, past the Statue of Liberty, into the East River and back. It was nothing short of rad. Justin Townes Earle played a handful of covers including some Woody Guthrie and Bill Monroe songs. Lucero followed with their usual face melting extravaganza. But, the bands were not the only attraction. The cruise went under the Brooklyn Bridge and offered breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline at night.

Today I went to the Mets game again. Pedro was on the mound and did not disappoint. He went six innings, striking out three and giving up one earned run. The Mets bullpen blew it and the Pirates won 7-5. Disappointing game for "us" but I still love Shea and the Met faithful.
