I haven't posted in a while, but I do like to keep up at least a little bit with event posts, so I can refer back to them later when I wonder what the hell I did or when I did it.

Saturday April 28, 2018: Suzanne Vega at the Sellersville Theater

I was so excited when I saw that Suzanne Vega was doing a special tour performing all of Solitude ( Read more... )

So, it's been a while. I definitely don't have time to maintain a journal online like I used to, and with giving myself the freedom not to post all my books, I also haven't been keeping up with event posts. But the thing about that is that I've got Goodreads for book tracking, but I genuinely use LJ/DW for capturing memories about events. So here's ( Read more... )

Last night F and I went to see Mike Doughty at World Cafe Live (downstairs). The tickets were his Christmas present. It was a great show ( Read more... )

I was so excited to go see the B-52's! I got tickets on Groupon with my friend Eric. And then my Groupon order didn't go through and I didn't find out until the Friday before the concert, and I had to buy a new ticket full price at the last minute, but that was okay, because B-52's ( Read more... )

When I saw Journey come up on Groupon, I was so freakin' excited. My initial plan was that I'd get tickets for my parents and I for my mom's birthday (as an excuse for getting the tickets that I actually wanted for myself and thus kill two birds with one stone), but when I checked with them, they had overseas travel plans that day. So I asked my ( Read more... )

On Sunday I got to see Sting and Peter Gabriel play, together. It was awesome ( Read more... )

Of all the stuff in my backlog to post about, this was the absolute most inappropriate pairing ( Read more... )

I bought the tickets back in September. We later booked a weeklong trip to Florida Feb 6-13; still later, I got assigned a business trip Feb 16-20, while still later I got a horrible cold right before the business trip. All this made the prospect of going to a concert on a Sunday night immediately afterward not too attractive, but we were both ( Read more... )

On Saturday December 12, I took Freya on a Mommy/daughter date to see the Nutcracker. I felt, for her first time, she was a little too young to do the train ride downtown to see the PA Ballet do it, so we went to a production put on by The Rock School over in Havertown, at the Havertown School. It was actually excellent, with even their littlest ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago F and I had a date night! We went out for dinner (with a $50 gift card!) and then went to a concert on Swarthmore's campus. The show was Chopin Without Piano, an interpretation of two of Chopin's piano concertos (No. 1 in E Minor, and No. 2 in F Minor) but (obviously) without the piano. The piano was replaced by a spoken-word ( Read more... )
