Sometimes, writing this blurb feels difficult… Truth be told, I’m not always sure what to say here. I think this week, I’ll just share that I’m proud of some small accomplishments. I finally found the time and ability to get out last week as well! Small wins, right?

I would love to tell you all that I went out every night last week and went to multiple shows, but to tell you that would be to tell a lie. I’ve still been in hibernation mode, but like a groundhog, I’m ready to poke my head out. I’m still wildly obsessed with Off Campus and the music, which safe to say, has broadened my horizons. Super thrilled for all the love G Flip is getting because of the show as well! It’s kind of fun to see the wider world discover an artist you’ve been fond of for many years. Now, if only we could figure out a way to do that with all our favorite bands, right? Also, it’s opening day for the local fair this Tuesday!

I wish I could espouse about all the great things I got up to this past week but it’s been nothing short of (minor) chaos, changed plans, and hibernation of sorts. I have been self soothing with Off Campus (yes, I know and I don’t care) and trying to get my brain right. If you asked me what I got up to, I’m not sure I could tell you. But this is a brand new week, chock full of new opportunities!

I somehow managed to make new friends at the Yungblud show by way of recognizing people I had seen at The Maine show. Talking about The Maine with someone at a friend’s birthday party the following day sprouted a new friendship where it turns out we’d been to a lot of the same shows over the years but had never run into each other. Look at music just bringing people together! Sometimes I forget what a small world it is… In other news, I have a bunch of new artists to listen to by way of getting sucked into Off Campus and there are zero regrets. If you need me, I might be rewatching it again…

This past week featured a jaunt to Anaheim for Melrose Avenue (since they decided to skip San Diego) and an out of character Sunday night show. No regrets today (Sunday) but check in with me on tomorrow. Wednesday is the night to be out this week it seems.

It’s a country heavy week here in San Diego but I couldn’t tell you why. There are some non-country options this week if the country/folk/Americana/etc isn’t your scene so, don’t despair. As for me, I’m hoping to get back into the cleaning/purging/organizing swing in my apartment. I don’t know where this stuff piles up from…

This week feels kind of quiet to me but I couldn’t tell you why we’ve hit a lull. I’m not complaining though as I’m more in the mood to stay in than go out right now. I did get out this week to see Happy Landing and lostobycrow, who were an absolute blast!! I think I’m happy to keep it chill until Yungblud night. What are you planning on getting into?
