Things to Look Forward to Next Week:

  • Finding out if I am still employed! Chances look about 80/20 I won’t be.
  • Reviews of the two AWESOME concerts I went to (semi) recently: Sea WolfGreat Lake Swimmers [I mean. Why do I keep doing that? I’m an idiot.] and Sam Phillips.
  • An update on Dad’s and my reading challenge through July and August.
  • Fresh TV so far! Yay! or Nay! Depending. 🙂

Things to Look at While I’m Gone:

  • I finally split my Flickr into two accounts (although sadly that meant losing all the comments on the crafty ones. ah well. bygones!) so I could upload a bunch of Chicago Quilt Show shots I had been holding out on. There you go! Someday all my stash shots will be up but that day is not today.
  • I wrote up a long ass cynical post about what I plan to be watching on TV this fall. Turns out “almost nothing new” would be the right answer.
  • Now that iTunes and NBC are holding hands again, hey you can rewatch all of BStarG Season 4 so far. Yay! 🙂

Later, dudes.

Pondering the Monolith Lineup

Posted on by

Here’s what I’m interested in seeing this weekend, and obviously I am going to have some tough time-slot decisions to make! Uh oh! You KNOW how I am about making decisions!

Saturday
2 – Port O’Brien
2 – Foals
2:30 – The Morning Benders
2:45 – KaiserCartel
4:30 – Cut Copy
5:10 – Liam Finn (going to him in Oct, could skip)
5:45 – The Fratellis (I’ve seen them, could skip)
7:15 – Vampire Weekend
8:45 – Silversun Pickups
9:45 – Atmosphere

Sunday
4:15 – The Avett Brothers (!!!)
6:30 – Chester French (!!!)
6:30 – The Kills (just saw them at Lolla, will probly skip)
7:15 – Band of Horses
8:00 – Akron/Family
8:30 – Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip (since I’ve seen them at a great venue already, maybe I’ll just go late?)

There are lots of other bands playing that I could technically have on my ‘try to see’ list (CSS, TV on the Radio, Sharon Jones, etc.) but I’m trying to remember that I am old and tired and be a bit less ambitious.
