Ready…Set…Summer!
My summer concert season kicks off this weekend with SP20, which promises to be one of the greatest weekends of my life. I’m ready.
I’ve always said that the main reason I shave my head is to remind you that I have eyebrows. Scared? You won’t be when you see the absolute joy on my face all weekend. But if it helps me get that much closer to Green River, then I’m all for it.
I shouldn’t have to explain to you who Green River is, nor should I have to explain to you the momentous occasion that is their reunion on Sunday. Honestly, ever since they were announced at this concert, the rest of whose lineup is stunningly awesome as well, I have been utterly astonished that, when I’m walking around, I don’t hear people talking about it non-stop. I have been anticipating this show the way I anticipate baseball season in February…every morning I wake up and think about happy thoughts and they immediately gravitate to how much longer my heart has to keep beating so that I can see this show.

I come here looking for a recap of SP20, and I get a rant about grocery bag taxes?
I’m guessing the weather was so nice that you couldn’t quite bitch about the rain.
Hope you had fun!

Best MPL comment ever?
SP20 was great, and even though my recap won’t do it justice, I will do one at some point. It won’t be today, and it won’t be tomorrow, though. Stay tuned.
