I spent a very large part of my weekend outdoors and if you’re in Southern California, you might imagine how I feel right now…I’m not sure I can move from the floor of my non air-conditioned room.
In way cooler news, I hope everyone has checked their Ticketmaster accounts to find it full of free ticket vouchers. I’ve got quite a few but of course the shows I really wanted to use them for are ineligible. Hopefully this will change at some point.
In the meantime, I’ll stick to the shows I can get into. If you’re looking for a great free show with rising LA bands, I’d recommend Tuesday night at Harvard & Stone to see Gold Star with The Americans.
