Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

The Ones That Got By Me

So, if 14 +1 concerts weren't enough, there were actually a few that got by me.

The big one.  I've missed her twice, and I am kicking myself.  I just didn't have the money.  It really smarts because I love her new album, which has gone in a bit of a new direction. It would have been great to see her.  =(

Ceu


Over the Rhine

Yes I saw them last year, but I LOVE them. I couldn't justify spending the money though. I will totally see them this year if they come back.


Now these really hurt because I actually bought tickets and didn't go.  I was too TIRED!!  =(

The Jezebels

I really like these guys, but I didn't like them enough to drag myself off the couch and drive into town and find parking.  They were playing at the Crocodile, which is in a part of town I'm not altogether comfortable with.  I live in the suburbs!!


Katie Herzig & Andrew Belle

This one hurt. I was vacillating up until the last minute. Again, they were at the Crocodile, and I didn't feel good that day.  I just couldn't face it.  Ugh!!



AM & Shawn Lee

This almost brings me to tears. I LOVE AM!!  Love him!! The Shawn Lee album is fantastic.  They were playing some place I have never heard of, in some corner of the city I had not been, and just didn't feel good going by myself.  Yes, I do go by myself. Not all the time, but now and again.  I just couldn't do it.


So, if that wasn't bad enough?  AM & Shawn Lee, The Jezebels AND Katie Herzig all played at Bumbershoot.  I could have see them TWICE.  I had money woes by the back end of the year, that I couldn't do that either.  Oh well.  Hopefully, there will be a next time.
