Listens: Walt Whitman's Niece // Billy Bragg

When you're walkin out the door

Thanks to everyone who commented with comfort and kind words on my last post. I read every single one, but I just have been too overwhelmed to respond. I'm going to see my father and probably attend a memorial for my grandmother next month, round the 11th thru the 14th. Sigh.

In other, more prosaic news.... Oh god, oh god, why do I suck? The San Francisco Music Festival, Outside Lands, is today through Sunday in Golden Gate Park, which is... rightoverthere. Like, seriously, I could wander over to the festival in ten minutes TOPS. Nevermind the fact I totally can't afford the ticket price (owwwww broke!) but look at the goddamn lineup.

Radiohead, Wilco, Regina Spektor, Manu Chau, Cake, Cafe Tacuba, Lupe Fiasco, Jack Johnson, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Rodrigo & Gabriela, The Black Keyes, Wilco, Beck, Primus, Ben Harper, and there were at least 5 others that made me want to crawl under my desk and weep because I'm scheduled to work. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I AM SO MADE OF FAIL FOR NOT KNOWING ABOUT THIS SOONER, ARGH!!!

You may new return to your regularly scheduled Friday. Sigh.

EDIT: Oh lord, I totally forgot - I'm meeting leighrowena for lunch today, as she just got into town last weekend and we have yet to hang out! Squeal, I am so very excited!
