Iron Maiden t-shirt @ Dark Star Orchestra show
Iron Maiden’s “Live After Death” was the soundtrack to my senior year of high school. I saw Iron Maiden on the Powerslave tour twice, so that album let me relive those concerts many times.
I was not expecting this shirt at a DSO show. Usually it’s all tie-dye, Grateful Dead, Phish, and Widespread Panic.

Southern Oregon pumpkin patch, corn maze, etc.
I think this was the first time I’ve been to a pumpkin patch with my kids since the 1990s. Of course, my kids aren’t so young any more. The vast majority of people there had little kids.
