Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/16-5/22

Instead of thinking about last week with life chapter titles like “Major Life Setback #32”, “How To Fail at Everything” or “The Week My Computer went Red”, I think I’m going to choose “The Great Boba Discovery of Cypress” or maybe I’ll pick something that is a mix between the good and the bad like “Adventures with The Bestie: Bedbug Edition”. At any rate, I’m more than ready to move on and return to a life of more boring titles like “Another Week of Great Shows in LA”.
