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.

I’m back from Denver and getting back in the swing of things. I can’t tell you how excited I was to smell ocean air after feeling dried out in Denver. I had fun but I’m glad to be home. Not sure what’s up with the summer calendar because Tuesdays have been a desert for a few weeks now… Don’t get me wrong, there’s stuff going on it’s just not my kind of stuff. Maybe that’s what the summer season brings and the seasons of the year are like seasons of music? We have Rcoktober to look forward to after all 🙂

Greetings from Denver! The weather has been hot and the first three nights, we had rain! The first night was some crazy thunder and lightening so, the power went out for a bit. Kind of wild to experience something like that again because it’s been a bit more than a minute with real weather, especially living in San Diego. The calendar is a bit anemic this week, likely due to the holiday. I hope you all have a lovely 4th of July and stay safe!
