- I finally saw a show at The Orpheum Theatre on Broadway in downtown L.A. What a gorgeous venue with excellent acoustics. Joe Jackson put on a great show, as usual.
- As part of our weekend getaway, we knew we'd be treated to a free concert. Unfortunately, it was a hip-hop show featuring Redman and Flo Rider. It made sense within the context of the event we attended, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I guess if I was all about the blunts and booty it'd be a different story.
- E braved the line at the Hollywood Bowl box office recently and picked up a bunch of tickets for the summer. We like to get the least expensive seats so we can go to more shows. The cheap ones weren't available online this year, but going in person saved us $200 in Ticketmaster fees.
- I got a text message from my mother yesterday that read, "I'm going to see Duran Duran tonight!" I was telling my sister about it later and she said the first thing that I had thought, "Mom knows how to send a text message?" We decided that our youngest brother had probably helped her.
- I'm looking forward to the 3 kickass shows I'm going to next week. Two at the Hollywood Bowl (Elvis Costello/The Police and Modest Mouse/R.E.M.) and one at The Orpheum (Flight of the Conchords).

If my Mom texted me, I'd be like "this is the beginning of the end." :) Elvis Costello- lucky!!
What shows did you get tickets for?
Yay for fun shows at the Bowl!
The shows sound great and good savings on those tickets.
Say hi to my mates Flight of the Conchords from down here in Auckland.
Cool!
I am so so jealous you got to see Joe Jackson! I love the new album and, though I'm not much for live music, him I'd see.
