I had a blissful time last week. It was a one/two combo of Disneyland and Dear Boy back to back but I’d be lying if I said I needed a hiatus after that. That Dear Boy show was so special and seeing Pete Yorn for the first time was super cool and I think that’s enough to hold me over for a bit. Not sure if you’ll catch me out this week but here’s what’s going on.

I had kind of a rough week after getting back from the UK… I managed to get sick on the plane ride home (something that hasn’t happened since I was little), coupled with coming home with a cold in tow right before Thanksgiving. I think I’m about 85% over my cold but the time change back has made me an early to bed, early to rise gal for the moment which is going to make this week a little hard on me and the shows I’m attending. Sigh. I foresee a lot of caffeine in my life this week.

Hello from across the pond! I’m currently galavanting around the UK and am super bummed to be missing some shows this week, namely Meg Myers, Simple Plan, and Tyler Hilton but I get Badflower as a consolation prize tonight so… However, this is one of those times where I wish I could be in multiple places at once. I really wish certain bands would check in with me before they plan things I can’t attend. Sigh. Until teleporting becomes a thing, please go out and enjoy for me!
