Summer concerts

Sunday June 1: Ingrid Michaelson @ TLA
Sunday June 8: Dan Bern @ WC Live (It's uncanny how there's a good concert every Shavuot...)
Wednesday June 18: REM and Modest Mouse @ Mann Center
Thursday June 19: Pearl Jam @ Susquehanna Bank Center / Tweeter Center / E-Centre
Wednesday June 25: Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams @ Haddon Heights, NJ
Saturday June 28: The Hold Steady @ Festival Pier
Saturday June 28: Josh Joplin @ Tin Angel
Sunday June 29: Dropkick Murphys @ Festival Pier
Wednesday July 9: Weird Al @ House of Blues Atlantic City
Thursday July 24 through Sunday July 27: Falcon Ridge Folk Festival @ Hillsdale, NY (Have you seen the lineup???)
Wednesday August 6: Old Springs Pike @ Kennet Square?
Thursday August 14 through Sunday August 17: Philadelphia Folk Festival @ Old Pool Farm (I'm gonna cry...)

And Reel Big Fish is touring with the freaking Warped Tour...no way I'm going to that.

Not a bad lineup, even with that depressingly crossed-out weekend in mid-August. I'll probably only end up going to some of these, but I'll be more likely to go to any given one if you want to come with me! So who's in?

Holy crap, Dropkick is playing Festival Pier? I am *there*. (Assuming I'm not on a boat in the middle of the Chesapeake, then. Which is possible, but growing ever more unlikely.)

I'll do Sunday if tickets are still on sale; no one has wanted to go with me.

Well, I'm definitely in if you're going. Might even be able to recruit an additional person.

I think they overshot a little by booking the TLA for her; I was expecting her at the Tin or WCL. Really digging the album today, though - reminds me a lot of Erin McKeown's better moments after she rocked herself up a bit.

Warped Tour can actually be really fun! granted, i haven't been in...longer than i would like to admit, but i always really enjoyed just kind of being immersed in music for a day. free stuff. XTREME sports. it's fun to go with a group of people and, though ticket prices were rising, it was still pretty reasonable for a whole day event. i think i actually saw RBF at warped tour. like. a decade ago. man, i need to get out more.
