Know the feeling. No time and no money when my daughter was little.

Although one Friday night during those days, a guy from work had a friend cancel on him, so I got a ticket cheap. Hey, a big act playing a small venue just down the street. So I told the kid I was going to see a cool band.

“Who, daddy?”  
“U2.”  
“Me too?!?”

Gogol Bordello tonight. Great show.

I think.  
Fuck me. Client called last week in the middle of a nervous breakdown. We came up with a figure, then added about fifty percent to it hoping they’d reconsider. On the plus side, I guess we’ll be able to fly to Europe to see them. On the down side, we’re here for the next four days in the hotel Indigo with nothing but headphones. Shit. One down.

Oh well, we do have circus tickets next week…

Coulton live is EPIC. Saw him and Paul and Storm on the same bill recently.

If anyone gives a shit a friend flaked on me and I have an extra tic to One Direction July 9th/Las Vegas.

Saw Tedeschi Trucks Band tonight at a small festival in Elmer, NJ. They were pretty good, not the best I’ve ever heard them. Glad they played a couple of dTb songs.

If they keep falling off the table, consider a tic tac. 😛
