Yeah Yeah it only took me the literal better half of 2013 to embark on my first blog post of the year. Phew. Welcome back, et cetera and so forth.
Summer's been rapidly escalating in heat and tempo and as I sat down to a calendar tonight, after being away from "home" and in Milwaukee for the past 5 days, that I won't be back to what I call home again for perhaps upwards of three weeks. It feels so exciting to finally get on with the summer I daydreamed about during the long, long, long and crappy months of March and April this past spring, when it was 35 and cloudy for about 73 days straight. In two weeks, Paul McCartney finally comes to Milwaukee, the big Pearl Jam/Phish weekend in Chicago is nearly after that, and the much-awaited and much-anticipated Justin Timberlake/JAY-Z show at Soldier field after the three-night Phish run. Throw in some Brewers games, disc golfing, weddings, and oh yeah, a Chuck Klosterman book signing in Milwaukee, and I'm already looking at the month of August. EEP. August means one thing...back to school.
I'd really like to try to keep up with reviewing and whatnot, but in case I can't get to it, for historical documentation purposes...here is what I've been up to the past two weeks:
June 26: Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Diplo, Summerfest
June 28: Matt & Kim, Summerfest (Cake)
July 3: MGMT, Summerfest
July 7: Hank Aaron bobble head day, Brewers lose a heartbreaker 2-1 to the NY Mets (Apu's favorite squadron). It was 90 degrees and stagnant as all get out, Miller Park was a sweatbox.
There, I at least got the last review done already. Unfortunately...there's not much more to say about the Brewers' season than that.
Phew. Here I go, it's gonna be a wild ride the next three weeks.
