Jason Mraz Concert Review
Tyla and I have been taking in a lot of shows lately. Matt Nathanson was last week, Bye Bye Birdie was Saturday night, and Jason Mraz was this Monday night. I bought these tickets a couple months ago and the show was almost sold out back then. I had a...

Matt Nathanson Concert Review
Tyla and I headed into Seattle on Wednesady night for the Matt Nathanson concert at the Showbox at the Market. Neither of us had ever been to the venue, so I really didn't know what to expect. Doors open at 8 and over 21 guests can hang out in the Green...

Fun
The Format is one of my goto artists when I'm looking for music to play. I've listened to their albums a bazillion time. They're easily one of my favorite small bands and I was really disappointed when they broke up. After a little spelunking...

Triple XXX
The Triple XXX restaurant in Issaquah is one of my favorite local places (which I don't visit often enough.) The history of the Triple XXX brand goes back to 1895, but the short version of the story is that there are only two of them left in the world...

StubHub
I've heard a lot about StubHub, but I've never actually used it to buy or sell tickets. Transferring tickets online has always seemed very sketchy to me as there are many holes for scams. I had an extra ticket to get rid of so I decided to give...

The Senate
The show on Thursday night was fantastic! During the show I was trying to figure out how I would describe them, but it's pretty tough. The closest I came up with is a mix between Dave Matthews, Dispatch, and Flogging Molly. Then throw in a classic...

Upcoming Concerts
I enjoy going to concerts, but I always seem to miss the ones that I really want to see. It seemed like a great website idea so I checked to see if it was already taken. Of course it was. At least I'll have some good music to listen to while I await...

Ben Folds In Tacoma
