Cinema Paradiso and FLIFF constantly surprise me with their range of event offerings. It's like their arms are open wide to embrace the local arts community in a big, warm, sometimes drunken, hug. Yes, they always have a little bar going on the sideline of just about every event.

I am sure as heck fire glad that I will be out of town tonight...
...because there is no way that I would be able to make up my mind about what to do.

...that I have almost no idea what the hell is going on. The Avett Brothers are playing at Parker Playhouse. I'm not a long-time fan or anything, but they sound all right. I'm saving up to go to Cat Power in July though. I grow weary of dropping $25 on freaking concerts down here, and I really, really want to see whether or not the talented Ms. Power will run off stage or hide behind her hair. I love her haunting madness, but when I saw her in New York City a few years back, it was the biggest waste of money ever. I'll take a chance.

Welcome to Grannyville, Moodvane! Thanks, it's great to be here. What was up with me last night? After celebrating a friend's birthday at Blue Martini (I know, right?) and then having dinner with my mom and her beau at P.F. Changs (again I know), I got home at 10 p.m. and dropped straight to sleep. So, I never made is over to Zoo Bar to check out Viva Le Vox. I guess it'll have to wait for another time. I've been feeling pretty miserable about what I wrote earlier in the week about Robbie Hazen & the Riot. They're talented and actually very, very good at doing something that, as I said before, doesn't fall within my musical interests. I don't even know how to mentally process certain types of music. so it makes little sense for me to discuss them, especially in reference to what does make sense to me. Musical preference is all a matter of opinion and determined by how much you connect to an artist's material. I am always looking to be taken slightly beyond the peripheries of my normal experiences, and so that informs my tastes. Speaking of my tastes...
