Can we talk about those Gilmore Girls episodes?? If you’ve seen them, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I spent about an hour after watching “Fall” sitting in stunned silence trying to process the stunning array of emotions I enduring throughout the day…and those final words (?!?!).  By the time I emerged from the processing, I had sadly missed my window for going out to a show.  I did make a couple of good ones last week including what might be one of my favorite shows of the year, Lukas Graham at The Wiltern.

I’m getting in a little Harry Potter reading and watching this weekend (reading Goblet of Fire, watching Order of the Phoenix). Normally, I spend Thanksgiving weekend with Harry, but this year I’ll be in Stars Hollow with some Gilmore Girls.  Although there aren’t many musical opportunities on the holiday itself, a few local venues are participating in the Gobble Gobble Give Potluck party to feed the homeless.
