I’m seeing Tori Amos and Ben Folds in August! Woo! Tickets went on sale today at noon, and co-workers Tina, Danielle, and I each logged on to Ticketmaster at our computers to maximize our chances for good seats. An efficient use of lunch time, to be sure. The order in which Ticketmaster alloted the seats was practically random, but Danielle had the best luck among us three, scoring us seats up close and to the side. Rock on.
Speaking of summer music, Rufus Wainwright will be playing a couple of New York shows at the end of June: Saturday, June 28 in Celebrate Brooklyn‘s Leonard Cohen tribute; and Sunday, June 29 in a Canada Day concert at Central Park Summerstage. Grr. I was planning to fly home to California that weekend, but hm. I’ll toy with the idea of pushing it back a couple of days. I’m sure my parents will be less than thrilled: “What, you’re putting us on hold for Rufus? Again?” Ha.
Update: FYI, I was remiss in forgetting to mention that Rufus will be opening for Aimee Mann, Thursday, July 24 at UCLA Royce Hall, as part of the Verizon Music Festival.

How ’bout pushing it back to July 24th?

Yeah, really. Push til July 24th.
Aww, I can’t. Going home for July 4 is itself a push-back from scrapped Memorial Day plans, so I guess I’ve put it off long enough. And Mom’s already filed for vacation at her work.
Well, EW! None of my core peeps at the show! *sniff!*
And honestly, I don’t think Rufus is opening, I think he and Aimee are co-headlining. *crosses fingers*
