Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/3-2/9

With all of the terrible (and terrifying) news coming through these days, I’m glad there are some positive music headlines shining through. The FireAid Benefit Concert and stream including the Nirvana reunion highlighted how impactful music and musicians can be in these times.  I only hope the younger generations of music superstars can follow in the footsteps of the absolute legends who continue to show support to struggling and marginalized communities.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 1/20-1/26

Greetings from Taiwan! I’m meeting up with Kristen and another friend for the big boba tea pilgrimage to celebrate Kristen. She’s the one who first introduced me to boba and while I’m not an aficionado like her, it’s definitely something I enjoy. We have some tea tours planned, visits to temples and night markets (YAY!!), visiting a few cities, and so much boba sampling, we (not Kristen) will probably be on overload for some time. I’m sad to be missing these shows, so get out there for me, yeah?

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 1/13-1/19

This week will be spent prepparing to meet Kristen and another friend in Taiwan for an adventure! There are a few shows I’d love to make it out to see this week but I’m not sure if I’ll have the time/ability. I need to pack for more than a week with a variety of climates and I’m not adept at packing light so, this will be a lot of pulling, editing, mind changing, second guessing, and still feeling like I packed entirely wrong. Wish me luck…
