| Rocky Votolato (Taken 8.20.2015) |
Every once in a while I'm reminded of an external harddrive that was stolen from my bag while working at the Observatory. With it went at least a couple years of photos. Like, I've been seeing Rocky Votolato perform live for 20 years! and this was the only stash of photos I could easily access. It could also be because I always shot more video than photos, but either way, when I think of the lost archives, my heart breaks a little.
Still, it's an interesting thing to think about...time and how all of our lives are so vastly different than they were in 2002, or from when this photo was taken in 2015. Like when I heard today that Blink-182 was announcing a new record and world tour, I thought about all those shows I went to back in the day, even before they added the 182 to their name, and their arc of success and then remember they played that streaming concert at the Casbah before streaming was really even a thing and I had to pull major strings to get in and then I end up working there for what...13 years now? Life is so crazy and unexpected all the time. I purchased my tickets to see Rocky Votolato and it happens to be on the same night as the celebration of life for our friend Ian Parker, and then I think about Rocky's latest record and well, you just have to listen. And while it's supposed to be a "house tour", since we all live in postage stamps in San Diego, his is actually at a warehouse so there are still tickets left if you're interested and I included the link in the Sunday listing for the show.
Again, I'm so exhausted I'm not gonna do a full new concert announcement list, but Casbah & Observatory added a FIDLAR show that is bound to sell out quickly and if you've never seen them live...well, it will make you feel like those old Blink shows at SOMA and 4th & B, only now you'll just be the concerned old person in the room watching the circle pit and thinking to yourself that you hope nobody gets hurt. We aren't the same as we were. And that is just fine. Lots of amazing shows this week, even for us olds.
Stay safe out there.
