I’m going to put this lingering cough to the ultimate test tonight, a movie in the theater! Because I’m feeling particularly daring, let’s make it The Quiet Place, the movie with subtitles.  Due to the coughing, I tried to take it easier last week, but fewer shows seemed to translate into more time to run around trying varieties of cheese tea.  My favorite, so far, is a place in Koreatown (Tan-Cha), but I had a cheddar cheese foam with Matcha tea and boba downtown that gets very high marks for its uniqueness in both flavor and cup design.

I foresee more boba on the horizon Monday night as I make the trek to The El Rey to see Sigrid with Cyn and Dean Lewis (what a lineup!) and will make a stop at Yuko Kitchen across the street pre-show.  I also look forward to hearing everyone’s Coachella (or Coachella-adjacent stories!) this week.

What goes up, must come down.  After a stellar, music-filled March, my April is off to a very expectorant-heavy start. On the bright side, I’ve discovered an amazing chicken soup and my inability to sleep due to the incessant coughing has answered my question of when I was going to find the time to finish my book club’s book.  If anyone needs a good read, I’d highly recommend City of Thieves by David Benioff.

My goal this week is to feel better by Wednesday night when High Voltage is sponsoring The Colour Coast residency at The Satellite. Free show! You should come!
