I did something for the first time last week – hot yoga.  It wasn’t the highlight of my week, but I can add it to the list of life experiences. The highlight of my week happened at The Venice West when Glen Phillips brought Garrison Starr up to the stage to cover Garrison’s “Sit with Me Tonight”. Now I can’t get the song out of my head!

Next week, we’ve got a very busy Monday night. The Franklin Electric, who I’ve been wanting to see for years, finally come to LA, Evan + Zane will surely dazzle at the Troubadour, and Garrison Starr is part of a mostly Canadian line-up at Monday Monday.
