I hope everyone is taking the time to enjoy their respective holidays! Mine was super low key and involved a Harry Potter movie marathon and Chinese food. Not at all mad about it. On a more personal note, each week I’m feeling better and more like myself, which is very thrilling! Big milestones include driving around for an hour and spending two hours at the barn before all the rain. I’m looking forward to the new year with some new shows and a healed spine.

I can’t believe 2021 is over this week!! Completely blows my mind that another year has already gone. Despite ending the year with surgery and being mostly stuck in bed, I had some pretty big highlights! Highlights include but aren’t limited to; two rounds with The Silent Comedy at Petco Park, The Milk Carton Kids at the Belly Up, Almost Monday at the Music Box, Badflower at multiple locations, The Wrecks birthday week, Chainfest at Five Points, Colony House (!!!) at the Belly Up, Brad Paisley (bucket list artist!), multiple Dear Boy shows, Dead Sara at the Roxy, Plague Vendor at the Casbah, and I’m sure there are others in there too. Whew. Bring it on 2022!
