Who could’ve thought that gas would be so fucking expensive already, I mean I know the prices will only continue to inflate but it’s been swift since my plans to travel to Baltimore for Virgin Mobile Fest. Everyone was in final agreement over the past few weeks that the trip was going to prove to be more money than we would like to spend to get there and back. I know I could have swung it, but I didn’t just move, my significant other didn’t leave me with a bunch of bills, etc..

So, I took the reigns and dropped some cabbage on a few tickets asap. First I snatched up Coldplay tickets for August 4th in Boston at the Garden. They went on sale @ 10am and I was there 1st thing to see what good that would do.. answer – none. I ended up getting nosebleeds cause I wasn’t willing to spend over $125.00 to be relatively close (middle seating). Fucking ridiculous. I like going to shows, but I guess there’s a limit. With the music biz grasping at whatever they can, I’m sure we’ll only see more of this. It must take a lot of gas to haul all that gear around too..

Bought some decent Nails tickets for Worchester on Aug 8th, for a decent price too. I have been waiting for this tour since year zero dropped, so it’s been a long time coming. I’m super excited for this show. got a bunch of folks going out that night between that and the Rancid show around the way. Should be a lot of laughs.

Beltek is the weekend before all this as well. Definitely excited to see what’s in store for this years festival! If you don’t know, hit the link, check it out and make plans to be there. Bring a tent and join our village for the weekend! I’m especially excited to see Metris, Vik44, Jason & Matty, Andy Gravity, Stryknyne, Trixie.. the list goes on.. I will actually be staying this time (rather than bailing at 6am for Portland as usual, ugh), any questions or need a ride, let me know and we can find a way!

So, should be an awesome week! Despite some minor setbacks, we are back up and running, completely untouchable. That’s right.
