I Think I'll Wear A Flower In my Hair...

I can't wait! I am heading to San Francisco! I just purchased my ticket. I'm heading there in a few weeks on my way to L.A. I've never been, and I really can't wait to check it out. Hoping to see and experience as much as possible with little to no money (heh...). Hoping to get some quality time in with my camera.

Here are a few sights and sounds that make me excited for my first San Fran visit:

 (Obviously, I want to have a total 'Full House' moment)

So long Buck-a-roo!

My boss threw a going away party for me on Saturday. Such a great night, filled with great people, food, and conversation. Many thanks to Karin for the brownie banners!

Honey, Come Home...

I'm slightly in love with this song. I'm slightly in love with the harmonies this band produces, and it just makes me wish I had someone(s) to make lovely music with. Enjoy.

Honey Come Home- The Head and The Heart

It's The End of The Band As We Know It... And They Feel Fine?

Okay, so cheeky subject titles aren't my forte. 

 R.E.M. announced to day that they are all walking away and throwing in the towel. This is the end of the band that played a lead role in the formative years of musical growth. I remember listening to cassettes with my older brother, and thinking this band was pretty damn rad. And in fact, I likely used the term "rad" as well.

 I remember going to see R.E.M. (at what was then) GreatWoods back in New England. Luscious Jackson opened. It was... the summer for me between 5th and 6th grades (?) and my brother was getting ready to head off to college. My parents bought us the tickets after a great deal of begging on our part, citing that it would be a great bonding experience for the two of us before we lost my brother to the land of higher education. It was a great show. Lawn seats. High energy. 

I grew up listening to them, and this certainly marks the end of an era in my book.

Free Guster Concert on Montrose Beach! THIS THURSDAY!

Hey kids!

Just making sure everyone knows about the free Guster concert this Thursday after work on the dock at Montrose Beach in Chicago. If you didn't know about it, now you do. It's (of course) to raise money and awareness for a great cause. Raise money? With a free concert? Yeah, well, hip people will make donations. Please encourage people to do so if they are able. If you've never seen Guster in concert, I'd highly recommend it. They put on a great, very high energy show, and they are good guys to boot. Tell your friends, bring a blanket and a water bottle, and enjoy. Hope to see you there!
