5 Day Forecast

Edit Friday brain attacks strike back. Royals & Hold Steady aren’t until the week after next. thxkbai – the managment
Friday
Possibly head over to my old hood’s Bookshop West Portal to see Ethan Canin (who’s latest earned a “fucking brilliant” at Jodi’s)
Saturday
I had been thinking of going the see Feist at the Greek Theater in Berkeley but topping $50 a pop after ticketmaster “service” fees, I’ll likely pass. Kicking myself for not being a little more organized and planning a trip to Omaha last weekend where I could have seen her for free. Guess I’ll get by watching Sesame Street youtubes.
Sunday
Nothing firm yet. May respect the sabbath (aka sleep in, poke in on some scrabulous games & work the crossword). One contender is Bay To Barkers, though.
Monday
The Royals are coming to the Town so I’ll cross the bridge. My company came up big here:
- Having recently completed my 5 year anniversary at work, I got to pick a prize from a little catalog – reminiscent of elementary school
slave laborfund raisers, where you could get boomerangs, slinky’s and such for hocking candy bars. I chose the portable propane Coleman grill, and plan to break it in with this tailgate. - Got some of the company tickets right behind the visitor’s dugout along with “VIP” parking pass. Normally BART to games, but with the aforementioned grill, this comes in handy.
Tuesday
The Hold Steady roll into The Mezzanine in San Francisco. Very jazzed to see one of my favorite bands. The only other show I’d seen here was perhaps a “top 10″ show in my book – The Silver Jews a year or two ago. Not so jazzed that my pre-order from Vagrant has not arrived yet – WTF? I’ve pre-ordered for Saddle Creek a few times, and usually got the CD’s at least a few days before the drop date. I’ve been getting by with this tape of their show in Baltimore … which I’ve since seen on Letterman as part a skit with some antics from the unified scene before they did Sequestered In Memphis.

I vote you go see Canin, and tell him Jodi from I Will Dare sent you. You won’t regret it. My sources say he’s a great reader and very engaging. He’s coming to Minneapolis in a few weeks and I am so excited I can hardly sleep.
