We all fly up to Philadelphia today for a couple of days before the tour kicks off just over the river from lovely Camden, New Jersey. Not a bad flight and fairly smooth all the way.  Today is Fathers Day and everyone seems to be sending and receiving texts, emails etc  and from their Dads and making plans and such...... this all makes me quite melancholy and a bit upset by the whole thing.  Thought I'd done well sticking my head in the sand about it all today...  Oh well....

Get checked into the hotel in downtown Philly.  Get a lovely room on the 27th floor with a great view of downtown and the old Philadelphia National Bank buliding which gives me an idea about shooting the band up high somewhere with the city in the background.....hmmm.   Head downstairs and situate myself in in a cozy corner and order some food and a drink as i go over images on the laptop.  Keep thinking of Audrey Hepburn for some reason....  Need to cut back on the cheese.
