Taking a Sick Day

How many sick days do you have accumulated? I've been saving my sick days & using them so sparingly that I've got plenty banked for if I really need them. Knowing that, I decided to take a sick day...for my mental health. Its summer, being in an office without windows (technically there are windows, but they are too high and are blocked by panels from the outside...so really they should be considered a wall. In fact they should just paint over them instead of teasing us) I was going crazy knowing that I was freezing my butt off while its 75+ outside. I think we should all remember to take care of our bodies as well as our minds & souls.

Of course my sick day just happened to coincide with the day Bedouin Soundclash was playing a free concert during the US Open of Surfing. 

  

Summer is happiness...Concerts

One reason that I love summer is because of the multitude of shows in SoCal. I was a little bummed at the end of May due to my empty concert calendar & expected empty pocketbook. But with the recent $10/no fees Verizon deals and local free concert offers...WOW has it been getting filled! Today I got the best news yet with a date for Bedouin Soundclash in HB!!!

Here's what on deck:

7/16 - Slightly Stoopid @ Verizon/$10
7/29 - Aerosmith @ Verizon/$10
7/31 - Sublime w/Rome @ OC Fair (tickets still not bought, but I'm crossing my fingers!)
8/4 - Bedouin Soundclash @ HB US Open/ FREE
8/7 - Weezer & Hot Hot Heat @ HB US Open/FREE
8/21 - Weezer @ Del Mar Race Track/$10
9/23 - Muse @ Honda Center (yes I know, this technically a fall date)

See you on the lawn and in the back row!
