MARINA with Mallrat at Franklin Music Hall in Philly. I knew her as Marina and the Diamonds, but she has since rebranded. She has a lovely stage presence, and her fans are wonderful and kind. Many were dripped out, and yet they still complimented my plain Lady Gaga T-shirt.

TV on the Radio at the Lincoln Theatre in DC. First time in DC since the Weezer/Flaming Lips/Dinosaur Jr show a year ago, and so I spent the day at the National Art Gallery. A criminally underrated group, I was glad to catch them this year since I couldn't make it last time.

Nine Inch Nails with Boys Noize at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philly, formerly known as Wells Fargo Center. My rankings change depending on the day, but NIN has been solidly in my top 10 favs for 30+ years now. 4th time in concert, and I'll be seeing them again in February.

Wu-Tang with Run the Jewels at Wells Fargo Center. I first saw RTJ when they opened for Rage Against the Machine a while ago, so it was fun seeing them again. Wu had some surprise guests, LL Cool J and Lauryn Hill. The final show of the Final Chamber Tour was special indeed.

Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Ice Nine Kills at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly. This was Night 1 of a 2-night gig, but I could only get the one night off despite what I just said in the previous post. It rained hard for a bit, my nachos got *limp* but at least I had my poncho.

You’re not giving up on him, you’re letting him go. Poo will let you know when he’s ready even though we never will be.

Please be gentle with yourself. You will know when it’s time, meaning your body will go through the motions while your heart tears into a million pieces. Believe me, I get it. I’m sobbing as I say this, and it’s been over 6 years. She was 14, and her name is Pele.

He has a wonderful stage presence. I hope you get to experience it for yourself one day.

I am so, so sorry. Yes, it is the right thing to do, but you will second-guess yourself. It was a grief I bore alone, so please find comfort in your loved ones if possible. None of this is easy, but you will carry him in your heart forever. ❤️

Arcade Fire at the Met Philly. 2nd time I've seen AF live. One thing I have learned from my recent challenges is that I am no longer bound to experience life only if my work schedule allows it. Take the night off (YOLO), but it certainly helps if you can make up the hours.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with St. Vincent at Barclays Center. Celebrated my birthday in NYC with a walk in Central Park before the show in Brooklyn. Saw him a couple years ago on his solo piano tour with Colin Greenwood of Radiohead, 4th time seeing St. Vincent.

Deftones & The Mars Volta at Wells Fargo Center. Training at my new job that day, I had just enough time to go home before running up to Philly. It was a last-minute ticket, and I bought a bootleg shirt after the show because it still felt weird to spend money on luxuries.

Beth Gibbons at the Met Philly. You may know her as the lead singer of Portishead. It had been nearly 6 months to the day since I’d been to a live show. The month before I couldn’t even pay my power bill, but things are starting to look up at this point.

I'm having the same problem, but it's not going away. 🤷♀️
