An Open Letter To The Residents Of Des Moines, Iowa

Dear Jason, Stephanie, et all:

My trip to The Greatest City In The World is all set!

It’s a quick hit, but if last years trip was any indication, thirty-one hours in “The Hartford of the West” should be about all my liver can take. That is, assuming that whole “In like a lion, out like a lamb” thing doesn’t waylay me in Minneapolis.

Besides, you know I wouldn’t miss The Nadas CD Release for all the rye in Templeton. I mean, Mandy will be there, right? And Josh? And Jon will do his whole, big bass solo thing, right?

Here are the details:

Saturday, March 8
Northwest Airlines #658
Depart: EWR Sat. March. 8 6:00 AM
Arrive: DSM Sat. March. 8 9:45 AM

Sunday, March 9
Northwest Airlines #3760
Depart: DSM Sun. March. 9 4:55 PM
Arrive: EWR Sun. March. 9 11:00 PM

Sadly, Mrs. Wagner will be home in NYC with her mother, though she promises to listen to “The Ghosts Inside These Halls” the entire weekend.

As for me, I hope young Mitchell is ready to PAR-TAY!
