Exhaustion is the primary word I’d use to describe last week, but a successful exhaustion I suppose. Lot of movement with and presentations for projects at work, checked out quite a few new bands, and managed to catch a fair bit of both Echo Park Rising AND the Hermosa Beach Summer Series (The Wrecks for the wiiin!).  By the time Friday came around, a mechanic was trying to describe assumedly important “car stuff” to me and I had to stop him mid-sentence because no matter how simplified his explanation (he was even attempting a drawing), my brain was not going to process it in any sensical fashion.

Next week should be a bit calmer, but still plenty of opportunities to enjoy great live music. Need some suggestions? Here’s what I’ve got:

This weekend went by quickly, but it was very full. A night in San Diego to see The Silent Comedy, finally procuring a dining room table, two winning baseball games and prepping for another exciting year at San Diego Comic Con were all part of the mix! I’m currently catching up on Supernatural so that I can interview the cast in advance of the final season of one of the longest running (and my favorite) television shows.  It’s going to be a blast!

The downside of being out of town for a week, is not being able to get to all of the local shows. I’m particularly sad about missing another KidEyes set Tuesday night, part of another fabulous We Found New Music showcase at Madame Siam.

Feeling a lot of love today. Finally got out for some live music last night!  Barely coughed at all…only when laughing…which happened a lot, actually…sigh.  Then, this morning, I had the immense pleasure of attending the somewhat impromptu wedding of a dear friend.  It was a small beach affair but full of love and happiness and music!  The lovefest continued this afternoon, walking around my neighborhood which involved more live music, some quality reading time, and a tranquil stroll next to the water.
