does anyone in la want to buy my kings of leon tickets for the greek theater? 2 tickets, i paid $100 for em so you can have them for that.
oh em gee! em oh gee!
(haha that never gets old)
MOG ! what's up??
i thought i might update about my upcoming concert calendar.
july 19- ryan adams at the beverly hills wilshire theater! i'm so excited about this show. i love the new record (EASY TIGER ) so much. i have only seen him once, at the hollywood bowl (which i mogged about!) and he was tiny and far away. this should be a bit more intimate. though never intimate enough, o-ho.
july 30- indie 103.1 showcase at the viper room. oh, i love the viper room. i love all the small clubish venues like that. featuring nighfur, sons and lovers, and lofi sugar as well as the stevenson ranch davidians.
wednesday nights in august- the stevenson ranch davidians residency at the echo. you've heard me talk about them forever, go see what all the fuss is about! the new material they are playing is so badass. here's a photo i took of the singer at the clean air clear stars festival in joshua tree recently:
august 18- sunset junction music festival featuring the parson redheads at 2pm!
sept 7- kings of leon at the greek theater so. excited. i've NEVER seen them and i love them so. the greek is an amazing outdoor amphitheater, i'm totally stoked.
so i went to see the davidans a couple of times recently.
on friday night, they played a show at the knitting factory in hollywood. unfortunately for dwayne (the singer), his guitar was stolen during equipment load-in. boo! someone loaned him one to use and the show went on, but there was definitely a dark cloud.
after the show, a random stranger approached dwayne and was telling him how much he loved the band and their set. he was a little under the influence, so he asked if dwayne would mind driving his car to a party nearby. dwayne's always up for an adventure and said sure. they spent the evening partying, talking, etc until the wee hours. the next day, the random stranger guy emails and says something to the effect of "really loved the show, feel bad about your guitar, i want to help. go to my friend's guitar shop in santa monica and pick out whatever you want."
so he did. by wednesday, he had a brand new version of his old guitar. same color even. yay for random strangers!!!
they played another show on wednesday night, at the derby in los feliz. it was an early show with an open bar, playing with the wallpaper airplanes. it was a good time and d played his shiny new guitar.
there is goodness out there. remember that.
here's a photo i took at the knitting factory show:

what a great story, well, because it actually happened? there are so may decent folk out there that don't take more than they need, find a balance, appreciate and respect. unfortunately the assholes (vampires) are creating problems and perpetuating evil. dicks.
