Last Monday night was one for the books not because I saw several of my favorite bands at multiple venues, but because everywhere I went, I was unexpectedly surrounded by so many of my favorite people.  I’ve been too busy lately and unable to spend enough time with friends and to see so many in one night was simply magical. I bring this up because Thanksgiving is upon us and there is nothing I am more thankful for than all of the amazing people in my life that I get to call friend.

Let’s see if this week can be just as great. We certainly have some exciting show options including SXSW ’13 pick Six60 who are in town from New Zealand. Also, don’t miss your last chance to see November residency acts The Filthy Souls and George Stanford both playing Tuesday night.

I experienced a traditional tea for the first time today. Not tea as in the drink, but tea as in the event.  There was quite a selection of teas present; enough to fill a multi-page coffee table type book. We were also presented with fresh scones, cakes and cookies, mini sandwiches, and an ice cream tea float that also included some sort of rich cream…I’m not sure that I’ve ever consumed more sugar in one sitting. The best part of tea was the company and conversation. Just be warned, if ever invited to tea, it’s a bit like brunch in that you really need to block out half your day.

Now, I’m attempting to cram in the rest of my weekend to do list without staying up all night (a regular thing for me to do these days). I’m really hoping next week will be a bit more normal, which means, fitting in a good show or two…or three… Top on my list include local favorites Irontom and Dear Boy on Monday, a tough choice between Foxes and Tonight Alive Tuesday and a pair of up and comers, Jaymes Young and Sir Sly, at The Echoplex on Friday.

I’m down in San Diego for a Neuroscience convention this weekend and into next week. It feels surprisingly similar to when I was here for Comic Con, but people are dressed a bit differently. Other than a transformative twenty one pilots show in Ventura, I’ve been pretty music-light lately due to conference prep.

You guys are lucky that I’m schedule obsessed because this calendar nearly didn’t happen this week. I’m currently drinking straight from the bottle (sparkling cranberry juice…don’t worry) and listening to Joe Firstman’s The War of Women. This does not speak well of my current mental state. I’ve got a big conference that starts next weekend in San Diego and all the preparation for that on top of my already overwhelming duties has me at my wit’s end.

The one can’t miss show next week is Sunday night at Swing House Studios. High Voltage Magazine is celebrate its 10 year anniversary. Working with the HV crew these past couple of years has been a life highlight. I couldn’t be happier or more proud to be involved with High Voltage. In fact, this show is so can’t miss that I am going to do my best to drive up and back from San Diego to be there.

Last week was a good one: new EPs from The Kin and Hudson Taylor, excellent shows from up and coming acts like Irontom, Kid Karate, The Delta Saints, and Rags & Ribbons, and The Cardinals made it to the World Series!

My top pick next week goes to Carbon Leaf who is making a rare LA appearance Monday night at The Hotel Cafe. They’ve had two new releases this year, the celtic-influenced Ghost Dragons Attack Castles and the more Americana sounding Constellation Prize both full of musical gems.
