Lucinda!

Just bought my tix to the Lucinda Williams concert here on Sept. 2. It's in the back of the Athletic Club on the lawn - very pleasant, intimate venue. Because I luuurve her so, we actually got reserved seats, rather than general admission lawn tix. A mere five chairs back. Should be great! I always love her concerts - very immediate and intense.

Shaping up to be a good concert summer: on my list so far are Wilco, Beck, and Lucinda. If they could just get Coldplay, Dylan and Jack Johnson back again, it would be a great season. I think I'll pass on Lynyrd Skynyrd this week, though.

After I moved here, I thought I'd really miss the LA concert scene, but Bend is definitely on the tour map. It's a fun, easy place to see a show. We've ridden our bikes in the past, though we have sustained a few nasty injuries coming back BUI.

Hopefully we won't have any obnoxious dancing fanboys in front of us, a la Kathi's experience.
