Phone call from Mom: "Can you come over here and straighten something out for me? I made an appointment for august 3 at 9:30 but I don't know for what."

Me: "You've no idea?"

Mom: "Well, it says 'ears' and that's all."

I told her I would come over after my noon meeting to see if I could figure it out.

at 1:10 I'm at her house - she's not there and neither is dad or the car.
They're at MY house.

they come back to their house. I call all the audiologists in the yellow pages but no one has her down for an appointment.

Whoever the doctor is, they should call her on the 2nd to remind her of her appointment, right?

Saw Sigur Ros at the Skyline Stage at The Mann Music Center last night. It turns out the Skyline Stage is a stage set up on a fairly level piece of lawn, with trees about 100 feet in front on the stage (the red "bar" in the lower pic show where the stage really is). Maybe the idea was to sit on blankets and watch the concert, but too many people close to the stage were standing, so everybody had to stand for the entire show. The music was good, but I couldn't see shit. I won't be going to that venue again.

I wonder why they had you out in the corner of the grass instead of in the pavilion.

Was there another show going on in the pavilion at the same time? If so, could you hear it?

I don't know why they chose the grass. It's a new venue, for smaller shows, but this show sold out and they added another show. There was not another show on the main stage, and they are close enough that they would definitely interfere with each other.

Maybe UT has some insight?

Undertoad · 07-31-2012, 10:04 PM

I sure don't.

All I know is a friend of mine was there and wrote "Possibly the most intense concert I've ever attended."

And he's been to a bunch.
