Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 11/14-11/20

Happy Monday! And what a happy Monday it is indeed. Tonight I’m trekking up to LA to see Little Hurricane and The Silent Comedy at The Bootleg Theater. However, the highlight of this month for me was on 11.11.11. Yours truly spent Friday night in LA and saw William Beckett open for Jack’s Mannequin. It was a wonderful night for me and I spent my Saturday recovering from the drive home in the rain.

Once you get past a slow start to the week, there are lots of options for your entertainment this week. Enjoy!

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 10/24-10/30

You know, waking up today with a gloomy sky made me think I was still on the east coast. Sadly, my alarm to get up for school today reminded me otherwise. I had a fantastic and most memorable trip. It was lovely to be on the east coast not in the dead of winter for once. I wish I was still out there but sometimes, you need to come back to the real world. Maybe. Alright, who needs the real world? Oh wait, the real world has shows. Hmmmmmm.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 10/10-10/16

It’s Monday? Really? Where did the weekend go? It was such a blur but a pretty awesome weekend nonetheless. My weekend was punctuated with some sadness when my favorite band The Academy Is… announced they were breaking up. It made me doubly sad because I was planning to catch them on the west coast leg of Jack’s Mannequin tour but alas, no such luck. Thankfully, that was remedied by a music video shoot with The Silent Comedy yesterday.
