Low Volts

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 7/16-7/22

Posted on by Amanda

It’s a little weird for me to be back home writing my weekly calendar post. I must say, I’ve had a lovely break from reality between my travels and then experiencing Comic Con this weekend. I think Kristen still might kill me if given half the chance. I can’t name one specific highlight but I think walking by Will Wheaton and finding out Kevin Bacon has a band with his brother called The Bacon Brothers were up there moment wise.

We have a light week music wise this week which suits my recovery just fine.
