Well this week is Comic Con!! I’m super excited to be attending as per usual. They have some great musically inclined panels about everything from soundtracks to the “Musical Anatomy of a Superhero” and voice over. It should be an exciting but exhausting week. I’m hoping I’ll have enough energy to muster for the Creature & The Woods headlining show at the Casbah on Saturday. I doubt I’ll be able to fit in that much music this week so you’ll have to make it out for me…

The last few days were spent napping and binge watching television after “beating the heat” to the barn. I mean, I wasn’t melting at the barn, so that is progress but it resulted in my being fairly incapacitated the rest of the day. Needless to say, I didn’t make it out to any shows this past week. Maybe this week will be different…

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Dear Boy at the Casbah this week. It’s been way too long since I’ve seen them play and I immediately fell in love all over again. The rest of my week was spent doing the usual things and filled with quite a few naps too. I think this heat has just been wearing me out.

I ambled out this weekend to see Creature & The Woods at The Merrow and although their set was far too short, it was still a lovely time. I’ve spent the rest of the weekend hiding inside from this crazy heat. This week is a pretty chill one, except for today. I think that means you should all be out hiking or at the beach.

Well that was a very hot but very fun time! I’m glad I was able to experience Firefly and it was especially nice as a VIP! I ate a ton of food, probably more than I should have, acquired some new tan lines, some bug bites, and discovered some new music too!

Thankfully I have a fairly low key week ahead of me but I’ll probably venture out to see Creature & The Woods this week at The Merrow. As for what else the remainder of the week holds…

This week was spent grounded back in reality with mundane chores, napping, and some major cleaning. This week you can find me at the SPF 949 show on Sunday for sure but I’m not sure if I’ll be out the rest of the week. I’ve still got stuff to do around the house which seems to never end. Also, I’m currently researching Firefly Festival as I’ll be heading there next week! I’m wondering how much bug spray I’m going to need to bring for a festival in the woods of Dover….
