Vacation Alert / Some Updates And Musings

I am going out of town for a few days, may return shortly or if I sense any opportunities I might keep it all going. If I capture anything decent I might post the raw files while others, if successful may have to be kept under wraps for a bit for reasons of security and discretion.

Maybe I will be back in time to pick up where I left off when last year's housing crisis struck which will be anniversary posts off transfers off the mystery drive and masters folder. As it you are mainly just getting my playlist now and what I am going to have to play is the big missing chunk from the mystery drive when I just didn't want to deal with it last year. Finally started working on that again.

Afterwards I fully intend to enjoy my summer leaving less time for the blog. But we will see what really happens.

Afraid I also have to get much more selective on shows I attend. I have never really complained about the cost of mass market events as you can play those like the stock market. But now the "cheap" shows are running $40-60 and I just can't do that a few times a week anymore, or even in a month. I know the whole thing is driven by OCD / FOMO etc so that makes it a bit easier now that I know what I am really working with inside. Having a girlfriend, a cat and my own place as well as limitless media at my fingertips makes staying home much more tolerable. Recently I had fully intended to see Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, KMFDM and Pete Escovedo among others but when it came down to it I just stayed home and watched concert videos. I haven't "worked" since my ticket resale business unraveled in 2021 and while the motivation of getting involved in that was so I can afford to keep going to shows that the McJob could no longer cover, now I am primarily motivated by putting off getting another McJob for as long as possible.

I have been gradually adding to a list of resources that I should try to organize and post soon.
