Aaaargh!
Maybe someone can create an algorithm that tosses around various metrics and parameters (cost, distance, affinity to the band, how many times seen in past, type of venue, weather, domestic circumstances, Q rating of artist, frequency of touring/local appearances, etc etc) that can be used to spit out an answer on what to see when there are multiple great choices.
Or maybe a cloning device?
The frustration of 2+ great events at once just hurts my head sometimes.

Tonight:
L'Imperatrice vs. Cracker vs. Stay home and nurse my cold
Why would you stay home when you have two fantastic opportunities to infect large crowds of people??

Cracker sold out fyi and l’imperatrice changed singers
Was aware on the latter but not the former. Damn, I was leaning toward Cracker.

Agreed. Working remote the past five years hasn't given me nearly enough opportunity to actually catch a cold, so I should take advantage of this rate opportunity.

Well sometimes they release tickets day of or people have extras.

Boy L’Imperatrice were fantastic
These French house/disco/electronica acts are my favorite 😍

My cold worsened throughout the day, and there was no way I was going anywhere other than outside to walk my dog and back inside to watch the Thunder blow out the Cavs. Sad to have missed a great show (and opportunity to meet Hutch(, but glad to have stayed in, and saved Hutch and everyone else exposure to my germs.

There is no chance that ESPN/ABC (who gets Michigan on their airwaves just two times in the next decade) is putting this game at Noon EST (11a local) across from Fox's Big Noon Saturday. These are two of the 7 biggest brands in the sport -- almost certainly destined for a 7pm or later kickoff, but at least 3:30p. Even with a private plane and an airstrip in Norman, this isn't doable.

I went to one of those Flaming Lips bubble shows in OKC as Covid was winding down and while I also assumed the city would be ass, OKC is a pretty great little hipster long-weekend. It was a blast. Wouldn't want to live there but it was good times.
