music makes my heart go thump

Things to look forward to are vital to my mental health.

Being the fortunate woman I am, I have a few on my list. I thought I should point them out.

This upcoming Monday, I'm going to see Meiko live at The Hummingbird downtown. It's only a $10 ticket! That makes the joy that much brighter. I've never been to this venue, but it seems low-key and chill. I am very much looking forward to sipping a drink and hearing some acoustic and a enjoying a pretty girl with a pretty voice.

On Mother's Day, (hello, special awesome treat for me) Kenneth and I, along with some friends, are going to Atlanta to see Nine Inch Nails on their NINJA Tour, also headlining Jane's Addiction. I'm getting a sweet deal here. I've been a NIN fan for years, and one of my dying wishes is to see a live show (I'll get to more of those dying live show wishes later), and here it is, opportunity followed with my utmost glee.

If Kenneth and I play our financial cards right, another Summer musical shenanigan may be in our future. That being the Mayhem Festival 09. I'm in it for Marilyn Manson, truth be told. I don't mind seeing Slayer, though. No complaints here. If we go, we're going to end up with lawn tickets (less expensive) and.. will have to set up baby sitting arrangements with my mother-in-law.

Sigh. I am thankful for the live music coming my way. It fulfills me in a way nothing else can.
