Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 5/27-6/2

The San Diego County Fair kicks off next month and there is some delightful entertainment coming to town. Unfortunately, I might have to miss the fair entirely this year. I’m having a corrective foot surgery at the beginning of the month. It’s not a huge deal but bones take up to 8 weeks to fuse. I’m hoping for a knee scooter so I can get around but it is my right foot, so I can’t drive either. Here’s hoping I don’t go crazy…

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 5/13-5/19

This week I was stymied by some allergies (I’m 99.9% sure) so I was stuck at home and pretty much tied to tissues, my bed, and the couch. I’ve recently become hooked on Cold Justice, so I was able to make some great progress with the show but I’m bummed I missed out on some fun last week. I did put World’s First Cinema on today and relived the joy of seeing them last week. So, that was nice.
