Middle Kids (Taken 6.19.2019)

As I've tried to be a little more relaxed and have now eaten at restaurants two nights in a row, I was thinking that I might have to finally quit my self-imposed pandemic lockdown by going to the Middle Kids show next week, but now that it's looking like it might sell out I'm not quite sure. And now with my dad's condition, everything is kind of up in the air especially in the event we're able to visit him. I'm still gonna plan for easing my own lockdown, and I guess to prepare for that I'll get my booster and try to get back to regular testing again, too. 

I have to admit that it is really hard to see so many great shows coming to San Diego and quietly sit them out. Like, I can't believe Juanes is playing SOMA! I mean, tickets are like $90 after service charges so I wouldn't likely have gone under normal non-pandemic times, but still. That is a big deal. And Evan Dando is playing Tower Bar?! And I was gonna go to Indigo Girls at the Shell with Jeff but I think he sold the tickets because I couldn't really commit to when I'd be ready for shows again, especially ones with assigned seating, even if it is outdoors. 

The mental gymnastics of risk assessment can be hard, but I haven't gotten sick thus far and don't plan on it now. If my dad hadn't been so vulnerable all this time I may be a little lighter on the leash, but I'm still playing it safe while he's still with us. As it is, I stayed up all night to get these listings done, just so I can be ready on a whim if and when my family calls. But for now, I shall sleep.

If you're hoping to go to Middle Kids, get your tickets now because it's probably gonna sell out by the weekend. 

Go enjoy a show or two for me. Stay safe out there.
