  • Update: We Spend Our Summers at the Creek

    My original post, lives here.

    Walnut Creek, (formerly Alltel Pavilion), Time Warner Cable whatever it is now – identity crisis aside – has done an EXCELLENT job putting together an exciting “season” (I mean, it does last from April to October) for 2008! Last year, I would have swore up and down they were on the verge of going out of business having lack luster events planned other than the standard six or seven country concerts and the loss of their title sponsor.

    This year however, a better Mega-Ticket line-up including Tim McGraw, and incorporating Maroon 5, Tom Petty, Journey, James Taylor, and Jack Johnson into their schedule guarantees that less of my paycheck will ever make it into savings.

    Are you an Outlook or Google calendar junkie like me? I added the events into a comma separated values file (perfect for importing) of almost all of the shows. Anything that gets added from here may or may not get updated… but I’m saving everyone a good 30 minutes.

    Here ya go!

  • Check This Guy Out: David Thibodeaux

    He found me on MySpace and his message is one that can’t be ignored. As an actively serving U.S. Marine and part-time musician, this is his clever retort to the Dixie Chicks’ “Not Ready to Make Nice”. He’s not a once-in-a-lifetime stand-out voice, but as the cousin of a fallen Marine I’m well aware of the dedication that past, current, and all future Marines have to protecting our country and it’s citizens and I’m more than glad to support this Marine and his music.
