Night is made by preparation. The quiet ones. The loud ones. The in-betweens. The restless ones. And the recoveries. We may have routines, schedules, and preparations.

Senseless Optimism is both the name of an opening band, and the element I ride into Boston Calling with on Day 2. And I do mean ride: I cruise in on a Blue Bike for Day 2.
Like all epic days, this one starts with glitter. It is scattered on shoulders and faces, hopefully along with sunscreen, on young bus patrons smushed together traveling between Brighton and the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston.
