Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 1/3-1/9

I woke up on the first day of the new year with a terrible cold. I suppose I should feel grateful that it didn’t hit until after I returned from my vacation. I had a wonderful holiday trip, taking me to the homes of family and friends across the country. I also had the best Christmas present from my mother who took me to New York City to see the boys of Carney on Broadway in Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark. The musical was amazing and I can’t wait to see it again!

Sorry for the lack of email last week. I really didn’t have a good internet connection my entire trip. It was a tad frustrating, but I will try to make it up to you by telling you about all the amazing musical adventures you could have in Los Angeles this week.

Also, I’m in the process of posting my annual year’s end music mix. It’s a good one, so keep checking the website for more on that…

Pepper’s Ghost Countdown: 3 Weeks!

Happy New Years!! We are now only three weeks away from what will surely be one of the highlights of my 2011, the reunion show for my favorite local Philly band, Pepper’s Ghost. The show takes place January 22nd at The Grape Room in Manayunk. I hope to see you all there! It’s a bit sad really having what could very well be one of the best days of my year so early on. Really, it could all be a let down from here.

Or maybe this event is just indicative of what kind of year this will be. I think I’ll look at it that way!

So let’s really start this year off right…with some Pepper’s Ghost tunes! Enjoy!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 12/27

Internet for the past week has been spotty to nonexistant. I have lots to share and several shows to direct you towards, but I need to wait for reliable service.

BUT if you’re looking for something to do tomorrow (Monday), go to Room 5 where Paris Carney will rule the roost for the evening. Show starts at 8pm. Don’t know who all will be there, but I heard something about Caitlin Crosby. This is where I’d be if I were in town.
