Late Summer Sensory Overload

It seems that every year, I have a number of concerts and events pile into one small window, leading to sensory overload and a big boost to my morale.  After going to the Ticketmaster well one more time, this is what my schedule now looks like:

Tomorrow through Sunday is the Del Close Marathon, as I've previously detailed.

Tuesday, 8/1, we have skybox seats for The Dixie Chicks at MSG.  "But Dan, you don't listen to the Dixie Chicks" - this is very true.  Katie received the tickets as a thank you from work, and it'll be catered - and who am I to turn down prime tickets at MSG?

Thursday, 8/3, is our 4th anniversary.  There will be a pleasant dinner at Shelley's, undoubtedly.

I am out of town 8/6-8/11 on a business trip; 8/12 and 8/13 I am out of town for a wedding.

8/17 is the eclectic pop Summerstage show, with Peeping Tom opening for Gnarls Barkley.  Summerstage shows are always fun, and I'm hoping this will be no exception.

8/23 is Revenge Of The Book Eaters.  I went to the last big McSweeney's / 826NYC show at Lincoln Center (TMBG vs. McSweeney's), and the lineup for this one is somehow more phenominal.

A mere two days later, the 25th, is the annual Ted Leo Seaport show.  It is not to be missed.

Finally, 9/14 is the Keane concert.

I don't say this enough - I love this godforsaken city.
