I may or may not be home from my epic week away depending on traffic and such. I had so much fun and I’m glad to come home to a less hectic week so I don’t feel like I’m missing out of too much while I get back in the swing of things after a week off.

Greetings from out of town! I am wildly bummed to be missing some amazing shows this week (including The Maine in Anaheim on the 21st) but I am away celebrating my birthday! I decided to splurge on myself this year and go back to my youth in a way. Let’s just say my plans include horses, good food, the pool, playing pool, dressing up, and relaxing. I know it’s absolutely wild that I’m not spending it at a show but these plans were made last year before any of this fun stuff was announced. Also, kinda figures that the one time I actually make plans, there are other fun things I’d like to go during the week. Let’s not forget the year there was a show with a favorite band on my birthday, at the beach, and it was cancelled for a potential hurricane that was nothing more than a drizzle. See? I’m still sore about this so, it was on the road and off the grid for me. Ciao!

I took a jaunt up to LA to catch The Wrecks 10 year anniversary show in Pomona, of all places. The show was magical (albeit one of the hottest I’ve attended in recent memory) and especially lovely because they FINALLY played “Way With Words” after many many years of it being out of rotation. It was a sweaty time but it was a wonderful time!! The comedown after that show took… a while. No complaints though. No notes other than the choice of venue that apparently doubled as a sauna.

I decided to stay up there for The Strike, as they played SD on Friday (direct conflict) and LA on Saturday. So, why not? I’m glad to be home though and I’m in the middle of some prep before my birthday next week!

I made the mistake of spending too much time outside during this heat wave and it resulted in a spectacular power nap on my couch. I’m still feeling a little dead in the head though. I’m not sure at what age my body decided to be so fragile about temperature compared to when I was a kid… Luckily things are supposed to cool down here and yes, I hate being reduced to talking about the weather but can ya blame me? I’d love to go out this week as long as I can stay cool…

Well, another Comic Con is in the books. It was kind of a meh year for me, which is why I had not problem ditching out on Saturday to go watch Colony House open for Dashboard and The Fray. I hadn’t seen The Fray before and I had so much fun! I even ran into some people I had met at a Music Box show! Such a small world. I wish I had a ticket this week for Static Dress but we have a pretty good week in the books.
