go to more live shows

I went to a concert at Gonzaga! It was classical music, but hey, it still counts! :)

I can’t say I really ‘purchase’ music anymore, but I LOVE music so much I feel like I should give back to the industry in some way. I want to start supporting the local music scene and attend a show every few weeks. (I’m thinking this will also help my ‘have more fun’ goal, so I can’t see how it’ll hurt:) And besides, live music is the best.

It’s been kind of dead in Atlanta lately. I did see the Decemberists and Death Cab for Cutie when they were here, and I just bought tickets to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Getting there!
