Happy Monday! I made it out to three shows last week! Three!!! And they were back to back to back. My Wednesday was filled with pop nostalgia by way of Tyler Hilton, Ryan Cabrera, Aaron Carter, O-Town and hosted by Lance Bass at the fair. My Thursday was Lindsey Sterling at the fair and she exceeded even my high expectations! She’s got some major talent that one. My Friday was The Bones of JR Jones at Soda Bar where I made a new friend and got some quality time with friends of old who I don’t get to see nearly enough. Also, I spent a lovely Saturday seeing the Padres play the Cardinal with my mom and Kristen. I’ve never seen the Padres put down so many home runs in a game! All good feels and good vibes to carry me through the week.
