There were so many birthdays and related celebrations this past week, I could not keep up! I’m exhausted, but it was nice to break the routine a bit (don’t worry, I still saw 13 bands). In addition to the music, I discovered truffle avocado toast, ate unicorn tears and Rainbow fries, taught a few people how to play Rummy and went down a slide that overlooked the entire city. I also won a game of ping pong, but that might have a lot to do with the fact that it was doubles and my partner had the wingspan of an albatross…
Next week poses a few musical conundrums, especially Wednesday and Thursday nights. I’m not even sure what to recommend. Just go out! Do something! Celebrate!
