I decided to end the year with one more, completely random concert. Riff Raff! Had it not been local, there is no chance you would have caught me there, but I couldn’t resist. I feel like I’m a glutton for punishment.

Comedy Show: Ken Jeong
Two comedy shows in one week! Hey, if the concert aren’t coming around, I shall laugh it out.
Read moreLive Comedy with TJ Miller
That’s right. Sometimes I go to things other than concerts. And I like to laugh! So seeing Silicon Valley‘s TJ Miller live seemed like a no-brainer!
Read moreAcoustic House Show with Emery
Never in my life have I experienced something quite as intimate as I did on Friday night. With a band, that is. In what I assume is a very rare opportunity, one of my pop punk/emo heroes, Emery, was playing an acoustic show at a house nearby. So I went!
Read moreACLU Event with Ike Barinholtz & Busy Philipps
When celebrities are going to be at a free event basically in your backyard on a Thursday, you have to go! And that’s what I did! The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sponsored this Likover Lecture to shed light on two areas: abortion and voting rights. So naturally, they tapped two celebrities who are very passionate about these topics: Ike Barinholtz and Busy Philipps!
Read more2019 Final Concert Review: Ghost
I really hope I’m joking about this, but sadly I may not be. In which case, you read that right. This is my last schedule concert of the year; therefore, it is the last concert review of 2019. But it was a doozy and a highly entertaining one at that! A solid line-up of Texas-based rockers, Nothing More, opening for, as my co-worker described them, the modern 80s rock band, Ghost!
Read moreMy Trip to NYC!
Friends! I just got back from the coolest trip I’ve been on since I went to CinemaCon in Las Vegas almost two years ago. It’s been about five years, but I finally headed back to New York to visit one of my oldest friends. And this time I told her we were going to see as many celebrities that we can muster in three days – we succeeded!
Read moreConcert Review: Bastille
A few days late, but that doesn’t diminish my experience in any way…I saw Bastille over the weekend! I believe it’s my fifth time seeing the band, and they NEVER disappoint! Even though lead singer, Dan Smith, was very obviously fighting a cold, he still sounded spectacular (maybe just a little more audience participation this time around).
The show opened with another one of my favorites, Joywave, who played all their hits like “Destroyer” and “It’s a Trip!,” while incorporating some new tunes like “Obsession” off of their upcoming album, due out early next year. They were definitely donning safety gear, but they were electric and spot on perfection!
Bastille hit the stage a threw out a bunch of new tunes from their latest record, Doom Days, like “Joy” and “Those Nights,” but they also peppered in some old hits like “Good Grief” and “Things We Lost in the Fire.” I was excited they added in a song from their first mix-tape, “Of the Night!” and of course Dan came into the crowd during “Flaws.” The man zoomed right past me and a I took the world’s worst picture of his arm…oh, well!
Look, I may not have been as huge a fan of this latest effort, but there is no denying the talent of this band, and hearing them live is a treat! There are plenty of North American tour dates left, so go catch them if you can!
Fall Concert Review: Angels & Airwaves
After a short break, the concerts are picking back up! Last night I got to see Angels and Airwaves at the House of Blues in Cleveland! It was quite a show filled with a good deal of talent – opening bands included!

That’s right folks, you read correctly. My sister and I went and saw Slipknot this past Friday. It’s a once in a five or so year opportunity, so my sister made sure we jumped on those tickets as soon as we could!
