Can you believe it’s already basically October? I can feel fall is in the air and it’s absolutely wonderful! It’s a bummer to walk into Costco and see Christmas stuff though when Halloween hasn’t even happened yet. Such is the way of consumerism I suppose. I’m headed up to LA today to catch Sir Sly at the El Rey. I would have seen them last night in San Diego but my mom got tickets for us to see Paul McCartney so naturally that took priority. It’s was a fun show and I’m so happy to see an older musician who still has their voice and their skill. I feel like that’s so rare these days.
As I said last week, Rocktober is beginning to ramp up as evidenced by this weeks very full schedule. Make sure you get out this week to catch some of these amazing acts coming through. As that one guy in Jurassic Park said, “hold on to your butts!”
