Travelling Road Show

People often wonder why it is that I spend so much time trotting about to various cities for 'mere' concerts. Well, if the concerts came to me this wouldn't be an issue. For example, I was reading this week's Entertainment Weekly and saw an advertisement for The Breed Love Odyssey Tour featuring Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Holy shit, Mos Def and Talib Kweli? I figured if I was lucky there might be a show in Seattle or somewhere else nearby because I knew they wouldn't be hitting Vancouver. In fact I was pretty sure that they wouldn't even be coming to Canada. A quick look at the official site revealed that the closest shows will be in California. Now Cali is really not that far from here in the grand scheme of the world, but it is the third state to the south so it's just a little too far out of my reach for 'just' a concert. Wookiee, I'm sorry, looks like that unless your rich fiancée finances (see how similar the words are?) our journey, by air and not by bus please, then we'll just be stuck dreaming of it. I know, I shouldn't even be torturing us with the knowledge that the shows are happening without us, but if I'm going to know, then you must also suffer through the burden of knowledge. I just realized that maybe there were other shows and I just found out too late...damn, that had better not be true.
