I'm probably missing a few. And, I also missed a few. For example, driving down to Bellingham to see Pinback, only to get suckered into Trivia Tuesday at a whiskey bar instead. That kind of thing.
holy crap, robyn! lol.
ReplyDeleteyou missed die antwoord, though! booooo!
I know! I love how January's vacant, February's all about the Olympics, and March is when I get suckered into concert photography, and BLAMMO!
ReplyDeleteWhere's your Dan Mangan? Being a local Vancouverite and all you really should have been there this November. It was lovely...
ReplyDeleteLauren, you know, you're right... I completely missed out on Dan Mangan. I have seen him in concert once back in 2007. He was opening up for Patrick Watson at UBC's Gallery Cafe, out of all places. He charmed everyone that night (all, what, 30 of us?) and I ended up taking home a bunch of promo posters and his CD - ha!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how popular he's become, but good on him. And he's a fellow Vonnegut fan, no less. Right on, right on...
