Last night I got to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine: I saw Paul McCartney live in concert. The show was at the Hollywood Bowl, which is just about the best venue for a show imaginable. For days the news forecast lots of rain, but the skies were crisp and clear all evening (although it [...]

Last night I went to see The Killers at the Hollywood Bowl. My father-in-law got us amazing seats, right in the center on the lower level. I had to go to dinner with a client at work, so I missed the opening act, The Psychedelic Furs. But, just like when I saw Green Day a [...]

I finally got a chance to see Eloise (MySpace / Twitter / previously) perform live and the show was terrific! They played at Hotel Cafe — which is neither hotel nor cafe — in Hollywood. I was excited to get to hear killyou, my favorite of their songs, and impressed with how they handled themselves [...]

Last night we went to The Hotel Cafe to see singer-songwriter-actor-model Caitlin Crosby. (You might recognize her; she was in an NFL Shop commercial last year, the one that has all the girls dressed in Giants gear and then the last girl to the party is wearing Jets gear.)

My girlfriend and I had dinner last night at The Rainbow Room and then went to see The Perfect Victim play at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunset Blvd. We didn’t know it in advance, but the Whisky was hosting a “launch party” for a new concert review web site, TheConcertGoer.com, so there were [...]

Went to see the Fab Four at the Canyon Club tonight. They were pretty awesome (as far as cover bands go). They changed costumes a few times and played probably two dozen Beatles songs. They weren’t the Red Elvises or anything, but it was a good show and a lot of fun. There’s not much [...]
