Local Music Nation

Today has been a day for discovery.  I discovered some new comics at Free Comic Book day including one by a fellow Dead Sara fan who recognized me from a show.  I discovered that not only is there a type of plant called a bromeliad, but there are people who grow and “show” said plants.  Most excitedly, I discovered a new TV show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.  You really can’t go wrong when the title character is a Bryn Mawr alumna and the pilot is written by Amy Sherman-Palladino so you know it’s full of snappy dialogue and rich and very colorful characters.

Looking to discovery some music next week?  See suggestions below, highlighted by Thursday night at The Echo with Dear Boy. Don’t miss it!

This weekend came and went in a hurry. I didn’t even make a dent in my to do list, but I did spend an entire day playing games so I suppose that was my weekend.  I feel like after the day of gaming, I might be able to conclude that I prefer card games to board games.  Perhaps this is due to a greater familiarity with cards.  I can also build a mean card castle, but I’m not sure that is entirely relevant to the situation.

Next week, we’ve got more shows to delight and inspire. Friday night is the final night of the Taylor John Williams Hotel Cafe residency. I was lucky enough to be there last week and would definitely recommend checking this guy out.  I’m also very much looking forward to seeing Lewis Watson again Saturday night at The Troubadour as his songs are still swimming around my brain from SXSW.
