Annual Summer Concert Tour

Thanks, Vlad, for the welcome to our blog. Love the title, as "no worries" is probably one of my top 10 most utilized phrases.

This post is loosely related to the title... since we're all going to die someday, we may as well live it up while we've got it. One of my favorite ways to do this is to make it a point to attend several concerts a summer, which range in genre from country (Kenny Chesney, Pat Green) to blues (B.B. King) to metal (Ozzfest) and everywhere in between. This year, I've got Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam on the intinerary so far, and I'm on the lookout for a few more. A recent post on Salon.com, provides some great detail on the best of the summer music festivals, including which acts you can skip when you finally decide to break the seal.

If you live within comfortable driving distance of Stamford, CT, there is a whole series of FREE (with the exception of $5 beers from the heineken stand) concerts held downtown. The concerts take place every Thursday night throughout the summer, beginning at the end of June. This year's lineup is particularly good, including 90's greats such as Blues Traveler, Blind Melon and, the coup de gras, Boyz II Men, as well as some lesser known but usually very entertaining acts. Check out the Stamford downtown website for more info.
