Well, my weekend didn’t go exactly as planned, but my 4th of July ended with friends and fireworks so we’ll call it a win. Next week is Comic Con (!!!!!!!). I’m starting to get that nervous excited feeling. I’m not as prepared as I was last year, but hopefully things will still go smoothly. I just packed some very exciting snack packs so at least I won’t go hungry. Other things to look forward to: interviewing the cast of Supernatural, seeing a panel with The Muppets, learning more about the new Star Wars movie, and rocking out to Dave Green of The Filthy Souls at a Geeks Go Glam party (which you can join me at if you happen to be in SD Info: http://geeksgoglam.brownpapertickets.com/)
Otherwise, my concert pick of the week: NEEDTOBREATHE’s Tour De Compadres f. Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors, Colony House, and Switchfoot. So many great bands on one bill!
