Happy Labor Day! I don’t know what that means to you but to me it means a day without school and some lazing around. I wish I could head to the beach but I wouldn’t dare. I’m sure it’s packed and I got my dose of sun from the barn today. I will happily stay indoors!

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

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.

First thing you will notice about this particular listing is that it’s for a week and a half instead of the standard week. “Why,” you ask. One word. Bonnaroo!!!! Kristen and I are heading out to Tennessee for the festival and have some post Bonnaroo activities planned as well. I’m flying back on Wednesday because it was a cheaper alternative than Tuesday and because I don’t spend enough time in Nashville. But there’s still lots of stuff to do in SD while I’m away.

Happy Sunday! It’s a long weekend for most people (Happy Memorial Day!) and it’s been a sunny and lazy one at that. I just finished eating some horrible food (I’m blaming my healthy eating habits this week. Moderation, right?) and am currently enjoying the activity of doing nothing. I’m sure that will change soon enough so I will enjoy this while I can. I suggest you do the same. And get out to some awesome shows this week! I’m looking forward to X-Fest most of all.
