I am officially back from my trip to Boston! I had such a blast and can’t wait to get back there again. We didn’t do a whole lot of activities but we did walk part of the Freedom Trail which took us through the cemetery where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and the Boston Massacre victims (among others) are buried as well as past the Boston Massacre site, the Old North Church, Old State House, and the Bell in Hand Tavern which was the first bar in Boston. We also ate a lot of really good food and just hung out. It was exactly what I needed in a quick getaway. But now I’m back and back with your weekly calendar.

So, I had this whole spiel already written up and worked out last night so that I would have less to do today to get my calendar post up. However, I woke up with the worst combination of ickyness you could imagine. Between the spinning room, fever feelings from standing upright, nausea, and all around discomfort, it took awhile to get my day going and to feel less like crap. Hopefully, it’s just a 24 hour stomach bug but here is the weekly calendar….

Happy Monday! I’m especially happy this week because I’m flying out to Boston on Friday and will be returning Monday. This trip will entail some photography, adventures, eating, and hopefully some music too! I’m super excited because I haven’t really been to Boston since that 8th grade field trip when we just kind of went through and saw all the historical sights. So while I will not be here to go out and enjoy some local shows during the weekend, this means that you must go in my stead. Additionally, since I won’t be back till Monday night, I added on Monday (11/11) for this week.

It’s a drizzly Monday down here in San Diego. Normally I would be enjoying it more if it weren’t for the fact that I have to get back out to the barn by 12:30 to meet the vet for one of my horses. This will be the third time this month that we have had the vet out for one horse or another. I’m posted up inside a Starbucks close by and I can tell you that the line to get a drink here is nothing short of ridiculous. I guess that’s the way it goes with grey weather. Do none of these people own tea or coffee at home? Just out of curiosity….

This is also the week of one of my favorite holidays, Halloween! I am torn between going to dance class like a good girl or going out to dance with Transfer when they play the Casbah. Also this week is Two Door Cinema Club, The Neighbourhood, Father John Misty, and The 1975 to name a few.

It’s getting close to one of my favorite holidays of the year, Halloween. I’m still not entirely sure what I’m going to do, but I’m leaning toward Transfer at the Casbah. Of course there is always Two Door Cinema Club at Humphrey’s or Rocket From the Crypt at the House of Blues. Or I could just stay home.

Until Halloween, we have the like of AFI, Paramore, Deer Tick, Boy, Metric, Carbon Leaf, and more to keep us entertained this week. There’s just so much good stuff to do this week.
