Next week!

Next week kicks off a month of good concerts.

Next week I will be seeing one of Nine Inch Nails last shows ever (allegedly) at the small venue the Music Box. Floor tickets in a 1200 people max capacity venue (give or take when it comes to show goers). Of course, I am super excited. NIN are playing 4 shows ending their touring career (again, allegedly) in Los Angeles. Four different venues. I got the venue of my choice. I went with the Fonda due to it's intimacy and overall niceness. I didn't want to shell out for multiple shows. I feel lucky enough to go to one.

A few weeks later at the Fonda (again) is a smaller show, but one that should be very cool. Gaslight Anthem and Murder by Death.

Today, I got some great tickets. Alice in Chains at the Avalon. The day after their new album (and first in 14 years) comes out! The Avalon is a similarly tiny venue holding about 1200 as well (I think). These tickets weren't easy to get as it was through Live Nation and those people are terrible. I thought I wasn't going to get any tickets after failing miserably for a long time.

A few days after that, we go to Pearl Jam at the Gibson Amphitheatre. This venue holds about 6,000 and we should have great seats in this venue as M purchased them through the fan club.

So, WOO! Good month of shows coming up. Seeing three big bands I "grew up with" in very small venues will be fantastic!

I have a 95 page version of the script "completed" and set to be read sometime soonish. I am still working on it a bit. I will probably take a week or so away from it then get back to it. I say that, but I can already feel myself wanting to work on it tomorrow.

Can't wait, looks like we will be pretty busy...Now that we have AIC tickets (totally unexpected) I think I have finally seen all my favorite bands. :)
