Got Tom Waits coming up Thursday, followed by Rancid on Saturday. I've wanted to see Waits for a long, long time, but never had the chance until now so I overspent to grab the ridiculously priced tickets and am looking forward to seeing him in a lovely refurbished old theater he is playing. Rancid should be fun and Exene has her latest version of the Original Sinners opening, including a couple of old drinking buddies sitting in, so that should be a fun show.

Speaking of old punk stuff.....got to see the Meatmen Saturday night after getting to drink a beer and chat with Tesco Vee earlier in the day...fun gig held downstairs of a reggae club, so I kept getting pulled back and forth during the opening bands until the Meatmen hit the stage and kept my attention for a short but excellent set. They ever did a couple covers, a FEAR cover and a Skewdriver cover.

Just gotta get through the week until Thursday.
