looooong weekend ahead!

well today is friday. and then i, along with many others, dont have to come back to work till tuesday! oh that is just fantastic. especially considering the week ive had, minus birthday wednesday which was great. the rest of the week has gone by at a slow creep...every minute feels like an hour...every hour a day. im soo thankful that friday finally showed up! and if im lucky i might get to go home early - we'll see.

i dont have many big plans for the weekend except for some much needed rest and vegetation (of myself, that is). ill try to find something fun to do and hopefully have something to show for it next week.

as you all know from reading my blog, ACL is fast approaching. not at lightning speed but its about 4 months away. and whenever the lineup is posted i feel it to be my duty to check out some of the bands i havent heard of and start deciding who will get my precious time over that weekend. so from now until the fest im going to give you my thoughts on 2, maybe 3, maybe 4 groups. so here goes:

greyhounds - i really really like these guys. theyre from austin and their sound is a mix of blues, funk, and rock i guess. kinda hard to describe but i foresee them being a fun group to check out live.

matt costa - matt falls in the singer-songwriter category. the single guy with a guitar and occasionally a back up band is probably my favorite "genre" of music. however you have to actually be good to make it otherwise youre just "another guy with a guitar." and i think he is...good, that is.

so theres your two for the week.

thats about it for me. i hope everyone has a wonderful long memorial day weekend. have fun and be safe!
