I seem to be sick…still? Again? Idk. This time the fever has set in so that’s fun. Healthy or not, this week I venture to New York City for a couple of days to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway! Merry Christmas to me!! I just hope my appetite returns in time to enjoy some NYC cuisine.  I’ve got my mind set on pierogis and sampling east coast bubble tea.

Before I venture east, there are some prime shows this week including a wildfire relief benefit Monday night at the Regent Theatre that boasts a crazy good lineup.  And, of course, I will be back in town Saturday to see The Wrecks headline at The Troubadour.

I keep saying this is a terrible time of the year to make any big decisions, yet it feels increasingly like change is imminent.  Hopefully I can get through the next week without making any decision beyond determining if a band I love with the single I don’t quite love is still making the kind of music I want to listen to.
