Ready, Willing & Able

Meet me darlin', won't you?
I've been waiting for you
At my lonesome white table
Ready, willing, and able

Hello, Hello...

What's new? Unfortunately, not much. Working all the days and trying to save for my big escape early next year. Plans are very vague right now but I'll keep you informed. It's basically going to consist of visiting some people I haven't seen in a really long time.
Hope everyone had a good 4th! My store was closed so bonus holiday. Our camping trip got canceled while my parents house goes through some changes. The fireworks I did see were pretty good. Plans got a bit weird-ed out, so next year I'll probably going with other folks. Travis enjoyed the little poppers you throw at the ground...well he did once he figured out how hard he had to throw them to make them pop.
Celebrated some birthday's last weekend. Crystal's is a week from today. I'm not real excited about floating down the river, especially out of Forestville, but it's her birthday so we'll see. Healdsburg is having the Water Carnival next Saturday. It's this big celebration they used to do way back when and they're trying to bring it back. Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe, we could check that out instead?...
I made a tumblr account two days ago. I know I'll be a habitual re-blogger. I've been looking at different peoples and I'm finding some really cool stuff. So far it seems easier to use than this but I think it will be a more interactive twitter-like-thing. I like writing stuff out here more. Man, I'm such a nerd...I need a life! We'll see how long it lasts.

And now for my favorite things...
I heard an announcement that Matt Nathanson will be playing an evening concert at Mill Creek Winery in Healdsburg on Wed. the 27th. I went down to the radio station and got on the guest list. I have the day off so Matt and I will be going. I was so bummed when I missed him at Latitude a while back so I'm excited to get a second chance. His new album seems to be getting good reviews.
Three days later I'll be seeing none other than Mr. Matt Costa in Berkeley. I saw this quick little post on Facebook.
I went down there and was amazed at the cute little shopping district that I never even knew existed.
So awesome! I got tickets and couldn't be more excited to see Costa again. It has been way too long and for it to be such a small little gig makes it ten times better!
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is beginning to announce acts. I'm absolutely going. I have the weekend off and will even spend the weekend at Uncle John's & take BART if need be. The lineup already looks good but I'll be crossing fingers for The Civil Wars, Dawes, Delta Spirit, you know...all my people!

Sorry for the short update but that's just how it goes these days.
