Oh August, it’s looking like you are going to end up being the best month ever. Not only do I get Mexico play date with OJ, a long-awaited visit from my Rob, Brooklyn reunion with Albee, CvT Brooklyn date, and Pumpkin’s b-day bash - but now I can add to that RVA-getaway with Crystal this Saturday.

And I just read that Busdriver is touring with People Under The Stairs and Flobots, and will be playing The National this Saturday!

I didn’t even ask Crystal’s permission, I just went ahead and bought the tickets and know that we will have the best night.
