I’m defending my PhD dissertation tomorrow. This has been a loooong time coming (longer than the existence of Local Music Nation) and I’m struggling to condense my entire neuroscience research career into a tidy hour-long talk. If you happen to be free Monday afternoon and want to see a very different kind of show, let me know.
Hopefully the presentation will go well and next week I’ll be getting out to celebrate in the best way I can’t think of, with live music! There are quite a few options for shows, but none will come close to the celebratory mood set by Judah & The Lion. This band throws one of the most uplifting dance parties I’ve ever been to. Friday night at The Troubadour is going to get crazy!
