The month of August is just flying by. It’s odd because I feel like I’ve spent most of the month sitting in front of my computer working. I guess time goes by faster when you aren’t having fun?? I did find enormous amounts of enjoyment today in watching golf on TV. I think of the Olympic sports I’ve watched, golf might be my favorites this year. It’s certainly the only time I actually yelled out loud at the TV.
We’ve got several bands next week coming in from the east coast that I would highly suggest looking into. Jimmy Gnecco and Mainland both come to The Hotel Cafe on Monday and Wyland play a couple shows at Silverlake Lounge and The Satellite. We’ve also got Echo Park Rising this weekend which was a great event last year. This year, Dear Boy plays Friday night and since I’ve been listening to their new EP nonstop, I’m particularly looking forward to that set.
