Behind

I'm not doing as well with concerts this year as I did with movies last year.

I went with Henry to see Scott Hutchinson from Frightened Rabbit (his brother Grant was there too but not on drums) opening for some guy whose name I can't recall without Google. It was a pretty good show. FR has come a long way since I saw them 2 years ago at Holocene. (The single from their latest album is on the trailer for an upcoming movie) At the mech table Grant said they had been working really hard and have mostly broken even.

No more recent shows? I guess not. There was nice music at Maya's bat mitzvah by a cantor to be and some groovy sisters--Peace Train and It's a Wonderful World along with the traditional Shabbat morning songs. And I went to Friday night services at Manhattan's Central Synagogue led by a cantor with a lovely voice and good guitar strumming.

On vacation, I also saw Arcadia on Broadway, it was a bit difficult to focus my mind on all of the dialogue and my 3rd row seat was too close to be able to see the whole stage at one time. I also saw a movie about Portland at the IFC theater, Cold Weather and Jenifer Aniston and Adam Sandler in a commercial for the Grand Wailia resort in Hawaii with the New Jersey mom's movie club.
