So much for THAT
Okay, remember back when I said I used up my concert budget for this year, and if I went to any more, I'd have to cut back on the drinking?
I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
Not really. But there are concerts in December that I just can't pass up.
I was disappointed to find out that Gogol Bordello would not be playing in my town on New Year's Eve this year. But then I found out that Cracker and Southern Culture On The Skids were doing the New Year's Eve show. Goddammit... now I had to buy tickets to that. I've seen both bands live before, and they both ROCK in concert.
Whilst obtaining the tickets, I happened to be on the venue's website just after a new concert was announced: Gogol Bordello. On December 28.
Goddammit.
It's not like I can not go.
Tickets go on sale this Friday.
Fortunately, those shows are local and relatively cheap - $30 for the Cracker/SCOTS concert; I expect GB will be about the same. And I decided not to go to DC for Halloween; sounds fun, but I'd rather blow the money on concerts.
The expensive one is the one I'm flying to Vegas for on December 11... Leonard Cohen at Caesar's Palace. It's the end of his tour, dude's 76 years old, and I might never get the chance again.
Yes, I'm now officially a concert junkie.
Goddammit.
But hey, you only live once, right?
Speaking of which, I'm going to take this opportunity to invite YOU - that is, regular readers of my blog who are WDC members - to come see Gogol Bordello with me on December 28 (a Tuesday). It's your chance to meet Me and indulge in general debauchery (even just seeing them in concert is general debauchery), and find out why I can't stop talking about that band. I figure lots of people don't do much between Christmas and New Year's anyway. As long as it's not sold out and you can get tickets - and transportation and accommodations are up to you. It's general admission, no reserved seating or anything like that.
If no one takes me up on the offer, that's fine, too - like I said, I'm going anyway.
At least Bruce isn't touring this year... |
