We saw Rush a few weeks ago in St. Louis, and it was one of those concerts you keep talking about for a while. Unbelievably, it was my first Rush show. We decided kind of late in the game that we'd go - let me tell you, next year, we're springing for good seats if I have anything to say about it. Which I kind of do.

Not a lot of shows coming up for the rest of the year. Drive By Truckers at the beginning of October, and Roger Waters at the end of October. I really feel like seeing Wilco - when is that not true, of course?

THIS weekend, a quick overnight to Chicago to meet up with a friend I don't get to see very often. Fun!
