Posted on by Kristen

My brain is in about 10 different places at all times these days. I don’t think I’ve ever used the term “code-switching” so much before as I attempt to explain what my life is like these days. Attempting to switch over to show-mode to head out to the Roxy shortly to catch some Kelsy Karter & The Heroines.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 5/25-5/31

I somehow managed to make new friends at the Yungblud show by way of recognizing people I had seen at The Maine show. Talking about The Maine with someone at a friend’s birthday party the following day sprouted a new friendship where it turns out we’d been to a lot of the same shows over the years but had never run into each other. Look at music just bringing people together! Sometimes I forget what a small world it is… In other news, I have a bunch of new artists to listen to by way of getting sucked into Off Campus and there are zero regrets. If you need me, I might be rewatching it again…

I ended up at the Grammy Museum for an interview with Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman.  This, in short order, resulted in the purchase of Warped Tour tickets for Orlando (the CA dates conflict with Comic Con). It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to attend a music festival and I couldn’t be more excited to see this year’s lineup rock under the Florida sunshine.  Of note, it was cheaper to buy plane tickets + festival tickets than just festival tickets to most other music festivals…thank you Mr. Lyman for keeping live music more assessable. You are an inspiration!
