I suppose last week was fairly productive, by quarantine standards. I got some good news and celebrated by getting into my car for the first time since my birthday in mid-March. It felt really strange driving around. I think I’ve concluded that I’m fairly happy not having to drive anywhere. As long as there are no shows, I really don’t see the point.
Last week also brought the return of Magic Giant’s Live from Quarantine (“Disaster Party” is my current jam), a surprise Franklin Electric set to introduce the world to a new piano and a cat named Loki, the Indigo Girls making me nostalgic, and celebratory livestreams from Callum Beattie, Charlotte OC and Lewis Capaldi.
Back in January, I had the privilege of seeing Jagged Little Pill on Broadway and next week Alanis Morissette is hosting an event with the cast. That’s a top pick. I’m sure other livestreams will present themselves as the week progresses. I’ll update the calendar as I see them. Here’s what I have so far:
