Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 11/23-11/29

Posted on by Amanda

This past week was kind of a blur. Not sure why as I wasn’t super crazy busy that I can remember. Honestly, it takes me a minute to remember what I did the week before but I can remember something from when I was 5. But I digress. This week I drove up to Fullerton to see Dear Boy at the Slidebar with some friends from LA. It was so worth getting home at 2 am. Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching some friends jam some blues for a few hours. That always makes my heart happy. It was a good week.

I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving. We decided to actually do Thanksgiving at the last minute instead of just getting Mexican food. Our kitchen/living room has been a mess but it should be finished in time. Also, I’m a sucker for side dishes (give me all the green beans and mashed potatoes!!) and leftovers. But I’m thankful for good conversation with friends, family, good company, music that makes me feel things, and bands that have given me great friends.

If you’re looking for something to do before Thanksgiving, I highly suggest Billy Sunday at Park & Rec. Consider it a good excuse to get out of the house before all the crazy starts. The rest of the week looks like this….
