Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 5/21-5/27

It feels like summer is fast approaching and apparently my body is not completely ready for it. Such a shame because there are some great festivals coming up including Bonnaroo, X-Fest, and SPF 94/9. For now, I’m hiding in the shade and planning on emerging at night. No, I’m not a vampire.

I must be keeping busy or losing my mind because I seem to be losing track of time. Whoa. Totally didn’t mean to bust a rhyme. Yeah, I must be going a little crazy. Perhaps it’s all this glorious SD sun and my inability to enjoy it at the beach or something. Tough life 🙂

I should note, it’s a rather light week music wise. So get out and enjoy the weather!
