Just a quick update on things, as it's nearly midnight. I missed a few days recently because they turned out unexpectedly eventful. Friday was the KEXP Hood-to-Hood / Ballard Day event, and I was there for a good long time, first staffing the KEXP tent from noon until almost 3, then staffing a table at the BalMar from about 4 to 8 while DJs Darek Mazzone and Rhythma spun a good set of tunes; in between I caught Joan as Police Woman's live-on-air set at the Sunset Tavern, and afterward I hung out with friends at Conor Byrne for a while for Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers. It was a very good day, and nice even just to spend a while sitting at the tent without much to do. The rest of the weekend I spent a lot of time with friends and it was really good too, and Monday I had a bunch of stuff to do as well.
I've actually been somewhat productive this week, which is good, though there's still much I want to get to and don't know if I will. I won't be going to the Sasquatch! Music Festival this year, as I realized I just couldn't afford to spend money on food and lodging even if I were getting in to the festival for free as part of the KEXP crew—and it's never clear until very soon before the event whether that will happen. But I don't mind, I think it'll be nice to have some time to myself to relax and get things done rather than running around the festival for four days. Maybe next year I can go back.
