Posted on September 4, 2017 by Amanda

I’m still riding that post show high courtesy of the double header of The Silent Comedy this weekend. Those guys just warm my heart so much. It’s kind of hard to put into words. And while their shows are few and far between these days, I always have the absolute best time with their music and friends I’ve made from their shows. I could probably go on but I’m just going to stop right there.

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Kristen

Happy Labor Day from San Diego! I can’t imagine a better way to spend the long weekend than with two doses of The Silent Comedy and a Cardinals/Padres baseball game…and air conditioning! Yesterday’s The Silent Comedy set took place at a Beer/Tequila festival. You know I love a band when I will brave an alcohol fest in 90+ degree weather. After the music, the weather cooled down and we wandered around downtown SD, caught a bit of a blues band, chatted with friends, and ate some delicious carnitas fries. It was a great night!
