are you ready for some football?

this is going to be interesting. i've never attended a complete football game. i went to a thanksgiving day game in beverly a few years ago, to experience the whole high school football thing my mother had told me about (she went to beverly and went to the game each year growing up), but it was cold and we left at halftime. my high school was way too small for a team and, besides, we were soccer types. and my college had a football team ... back in the 40s or something ...

so here i am, preparing to not only attend a game, but cover it and write about it after. this will be amusing as hell.

anyway. tickets for guster have been purchased - hurrah! tickets for mraz are pending - i'm still deliberating whether i want to head down to northampton or not. i'm a little torn. we'll see.

i think i'm buying a ticket to howie at avalon - haven't yet, but i think i will do so this evening. screw it - why not go? it'll be fun to see howie before the album hits and he becomes hugely popular ... one last time, if you will.
