(that would be Soundcheck Magazine for those of you not in the know)  Thank you for the tickets for tonight’s show at the Parish. In my allergy haze I almost missed that email saying that I won tickets.  I had assumed I had missed some sort of deadline by responding to your email at 6:30.  When I didn’t hear back by 7 (doors for the show) I assumed the tickets weren’t mine.  By some chance of fate I happened to check my email between episodes of the L-word (I am an addict.  I borrowed season 4 from the library),  it was confirmed, I was on the guestlist.

It was 9pm.  I live on the north side of town in what M used to call Dallas.  Based on hipster math I assumed that The Dears would go on no earlier than 10.   My math was right.  I was able to catch 3 songs by the Great Northern.

I will have more to say about the show later.  It is time for bed little readers.
